White Wonder, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds

White Wonder, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds — The Late 1800s White Cucumber for Slicing and Pickling

White Wonder is a very old, top-quality cucumber with a history stretching back to the late 1800s — and it is still grown today for its beautiful, white-ripening fruits that are as unusual as they are delicious. Harvest at 5–6 inches when the skin is a clean, bright white for the best slicing and pickling quality; let them grow to 7 inches for a larger fruit. Light-colored and “white” cucumbers were once quite popular in North America as a slicing and pickling variety, and White Wonder is the finest example of the type. Plants sown in May will bear fruit from July to September.
