Notes
'Ishtar' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Ishtar') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs and grows fast, so give it a trellis. Bees visit the summer flowers, and the hybrid fruit matures in 52 days.
Pairs well with Blue Beech tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Moss Curled parsley.
