Notes
'Itachi' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Itachi') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. White flowers open from early to late summer and draw bees. The fast vines climb and bear fruit about 54 days after planting.
Pairs well with Hungarian Heart Tomato tomato, Fernleaf dill, and Peaches and Cream corn.
