Cucumis sativus is an annual cucurbit with tendrils and a climbing or spreading habit.

Botanical characteristics

Its fruits are generally eaten before botanical maturity. Salad cucumbers and pickling types belong to the same species, but fruit shape and the intended picking stage distinguish the seed references. Warm conditions and consistently moist, well-drained soil suit this species.

Fruit types for a cucumber seed assortment

For seed retailers and garden centres, Telegraph Improved, Marketmore and Parisian Pickling offer named starting points for comparing the list. Select the fruit type first, then the individual reference. The range also includes F1 entries; the designation alone does not establish a flowering type, pollination requirement or resistance claim.
