WEST COAST SEEDS CUCUMBERS ROXYNANTE

  • Roxynante Organic cucumber seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! This new English type hybrid produces tasty, dark green fruits to 38cm (15 inch) long, with firm, refreshing flesh and thin skins.
  • Bred for protected growing in fall and winter, Roxynante is exceptionally cold tolerant.
  • It grows beautifully in the summer either outdoors or in a ventilated greenhouse.
  • Provide a strong trellis so that the vigorous plants can grow upward, with the fruits hanging down.
  • The productive plants feature two fruits per node.
  • Roxynante is sold by seed count, not weight.
  • Grow this parthenocarpic variety in isolation from other cucumbers to produce seedless fruits that do not require pollination.
  • Matures in 45 days. (Hybrid seeds)

    Starting Cucumber Seeds

  • Cucumbers need very warm soil to germinate. Optimal soil temperature for germination (and transplanting): 15-30°C (60-85°F). We recommend using a heat mat for seed starting cucumbers.
  • Start transplants indoors in individual peat or coir pots 3-4 weeks before transplanting out into warm soil.
  • Transplant when the plants develop their third true leaf. If the plants are too big, they may experience transplant shock.
  • Almost all cucumbers benefit from being trained onto a trellis of some kind. Some vines can reach 7 or 8 feet in length, so growing them upward onto a trellis makes good use of garden space. Fruits that grow hanging into space tend to be straighter than those that form on the ground.

    Companion Planting For Cucumbers

  • Plant cucumbers beside asparagus, beans, Brassicas, celery, corn, dill, kohlrabi, lettuce, onion, peas, radish, and tomatoes. Both corn and sunflowers can act as a trellis for cucumbers to good effect. Dill will help cucumbers by attracting predatory insects, and nasturtiums is said to improve the flavour and growth of cucumbers.
  • Avoid planting near potatoes and sage.
