Cucumber Calimbo (Gherkin) F1 Seeds

Cucumber Calimbo is a pickle lovers perfect variety for home garden cultivation. Vigorous vining type plants benefit from vertical support on wires in a greenhouse or polytunnel. The all female parthenocarpic plants produce masses of tasty, dark green, non bitter gherkins.

When growing cucumbers, harvest regularly to encourage, long continuous production. Pick the fruits whilst young and tender before they show signs of producing seeds, as older fruits can become bitter. Harvesting cucumbers is best done early in the morning when temperatures remain cool.
