Cucumber Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The crisp summer vegetable worth a spot in your garden

The cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a warm-season vine grown for its cool, crunchy fruit and mild, refreshing flavor. From slim slicing cucumbers for salads and sandwiches to stubby pickling types for jars of dills and bread-and-butters, there is a cucumber for every kitchen. Each plant climbs or sprawls with bright yellow flowers that give way to a steady flow of fruit, and just a few vines can keep a household in cucumbers all summer long.

How to grow cucumbers from seed

Cucumbers are easy to start once the weather is warm. Sow cucumber seeds about half an inch to an inch deep in full sun after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, then thin or space plants around 12 inches apart, giving vining types a trellis to climb. Most varieties reach picking size in roughly 50 to 70 days and crop best with steady moisture and regular harvesting. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing cucumbers from seed.

How to use cucumbers

Cucumbers are at their best fresh and cold. Slice them into green salads, layer them on sandwiches, blend them into chilled soups, or muddle them into drinks for a clean, cooling note. Pickling varieties turn quickly into crisp dill and sweet gherkin pickles, and lightly salted cucumber ribbons make a simple, elegant side. The tender skins are edible, so most types need no peeling straight from the garden.

Cucumbers and their cucurbit cousins

If you love growing cucumbers, you will feel right at home with their vining relatives. Try zucchini for fast, prolific summer squash, melons for sweet warm-season fruit on the same kind of vine, or squash for hearty summer and winter varieties. You can explore the full range in our vegetable seeds collection.
