Straight Eight Cucumber

Planting Guide A cucumber superstar, this classic has excellent flavor and is widely adapted. This heirloom, All-America Selections winner is a cuke for all seasons. Pick when 8″ long for top flavor. For perfect cukes, grow them on a fence or our space-saving Trellis Netting. Sow seeds 6″ apart in rows, or plant 5 or 6 seeds in groups (hills) 4 to 5′ apart. Special Instructions: Cucumbers can be allowed to grow on the ground, but for longer, straighter fruit and to save garden space, grow them in a cage or on a trellis, allowing 1 foot between plants.
