Notes
'Margarita' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Margarita') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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. This climbing vine grows rapidly, and its fruit reaches maturity in 54 days. Green-lime flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees.
Pairs well with Navy bean, Fern Leaf dill, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
