Notes
'Fanfare' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Fanfare') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs fast, so give the vines a trellis or support. Bees visit the flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, African marigold, Dill, and Scarlet runner.
