Notes

'Gagon Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Gagon Cucumber') 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. Its vines spread wide, so give them room to sprawl. The summer flowers are fragrant and draw bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
