Notes
'Victory' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Victory') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs fast and spreads wide, so give the vines room or a support. Bees visit the flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, African marigold, Dill, and Sunflower.
