Notes
'Liberty' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Liberty') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows rapidly and blooms from early to late summer. The flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
