Notes
'Gershwin' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Gershwin') is a climbing vegetable grown for fresh cucumbers in a food garden, in a container, or along a border. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It matures in 49 days, and its green flowers attract bees from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Super Fantastic tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Peione parsley.
