These vigorous, high-yielding plants produce delicious, glossy, thin-skinned cucumbers that are 10-12” long. Because the fruit is not bitter, and the skin is so delicate, there is no need to peel!

This variety also has small seed cavities with tiny, immature, non-viable seeds because it is parthenocarpic (from the German “Parthenocarpie” —> parthenos ‘virgin’ and karpos ‘fruit’). Most cucumbers (and other plants) require that an insect transfer pollen from a male flower to a female flower before a fruit can form. But this variety will set fruit without such a transfer, which leads to a more abundant harvest, even when there aren’t many pollinators in your area.
