Lemon, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds

Lemon, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds — The Sunny Yellow Baseball-Sized Cucumber With Mild, Sweet Flavor

Lemon Cucumber is the cucumber that makes people smile. A sunny yellow, baseball-sized fruit with white to bright yellow flesh that genuinely resembles a lemon — in color only, because the flavor is mild, sweet, and completely bitterness-free. Easy to grow and prolific, Lemon Cucumber can be picked young at 65 days for the sweetest, most tender eating, or left to mature for a slightly richer flavor. Excellent for slicing and pickling, and genuinely irresistible eaten straight from the vine.

An open-pollinated heirloom that has charmed gardeners for generations with its unusual appearance and exceptional flavor.
