Cucumis sativus
Gherkins are tiny cucumbers used for pickles, and these are the best; seedless, bitter-free, and uniform in shape. Use as small as 1½” long, or up to 4″ for making excellent sweet pickles, French cornichons (“little horns”), or for fresh use. Plants are vining at up to 72″; grow against a trellis or fence for support. Botanical Interests’® Hokus Gherkin Cucumber Seeds are USDA Organic and have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
This packet sows up to 8 feet of trellised cucumbers.
60 days to maturity.
Outdoors: Sow 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F.
Indoors: Sow 2-4 weeks before your average last frost date. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots.
