55 Days | This longer cucumber is popular in Southern Europe and the Middle East, and tolerates both high and low humidity, as well as summertime heat. Thinned wrinkled skin and prolific, this is a burpless variety with a reliable long shelf-life as long as handled carefully. This variety has primarily female flowers, so adding a few of another variety is recommended but not essential. These cucumbers have darker streaks on a beautiful green base, growing 5″ to 8″ long.
