Notes
'Monika Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Monika Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. Its vines spread 35 to 94 inches, so give them room or a support. Flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, Dill, Scarlet runner, and African marigold.
