Notes

'Striped Armenian' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Striped Armenian') 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 climbs and grows at a rapid pace, and bees visit the summer flowers. Fruit is ready in 63 days.

Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Persian basil, and French Breakfast radish.
