Greenhouse/All Female

A vigorous plant habit, producing many long, dark green skinned, slightly ribbed, bitter free fruits 28-35cm (11-14in) long, throughout the season. Its vigorous habit makes it ideal for growing in an unheated glasshouse, but is equally at home in a heated one for a very early crop. Excellent powdery mildew tolerance.

Sow singly from late winter onwards 1cm (½in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of moist compost. Germination usually takes 7-10 days at 24-27C (75-80F).

Alle weiblichen Salatgurken Sorten können gelegentlich auch männliche Blüten produzieren. Diese sollten sofort entfernt werden, um einen bitteren Geschmack der Füchte zu vermeiden. Gurken von Mischpflanzen und Freilandsorten isolieren.

Regular picking will encourage fruiting. Under stress conditions, male flowers may be produced and these should be removed.
