Notes
'Striped Armenian' cucumber (Cucumis melo 'Striped Armenian') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, cottage gardens, 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, loamy or clay soil. It has a unique look and excellent flavor. Green flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Winter squash, Parsley, and Royal Hybrid 1121 Sunflower sunflower.
