Lemon Cucumber Seeds
The Lemon Cucumber is a delightful heirloom variety that stands out with its bright yellow, tennis ball-sized fruits. Despite its name, this cucumber doesn’t carry a lemony flavor. Instead, it offers a mild, refreshing taste with a thin, tender skin that's easy to enjoy without peeling. Believed to have made its way to the United States in the late 1800s, it has since become a favorite for its unique appearance and convenient size, perfect for one or two servings without any leftovers to store.
This prolific plant is a joy to grow, producing an abundance of cucumbers with less heat required to ripen compared to other varieties. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners in cooler climates.
Another bonus? The Lemon Cucumber is less likely to develop the bitterness that can sometimes plague other cucumbers, ensuring a consistently pleasant eating experience. With its cheerful color, manageable size, and reliable performance, this cucumber is as practical as it is charming.
