Notes
'Poona Kheera Cucumber' (Cucumis sativus 'Poona Kheera Cucumber') is a vegetable for the food garden, 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. It blooms from early to late summer, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. The vines spread 35 to 94 inches, so give them room.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
