Notes
'Shimshon Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Shimshon Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract bees and butterflies. The vines spread wide, so give them room or a support to climb.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
