Notes
'Tasty Emperor' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Tasty Emperor') is a vegetable vine for food gardens and containers. 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 grows fast and takes about 65 days to mature. Bees visit its summer flowers, which open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Damsel tomato, Teddy dill, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
