Notes
'Sikkim Cucumber' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Sikkim Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, 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. The vines bloom from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. They spread wide, so give them plenty of room.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Nasturtium, Dill, and African marigold.
