Notes
'Richmond Green Apple Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Richmond Green Apple Cucumber') is a 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. Its vines spread 35 to 94 inches, so give them room. Flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Dill.
