Silver Slicer Cucumber Seedlings

Cucumis sativus

Certified Organic

Slender pale-white slicing cucumber.

Silver is one of the noble metals. And just like the metal, this cucumber withstands heat, time, and weather. Precious silver and this delicious slicing cucumber share other important traits as well. Both are resistant: silver to corrosion and oxidation from moist air, and the cucumber to powdery mildews also caused by humid conditions. Let this silver-skinned cuke illuminate your garden, brighten your salads, and remind you to reflect on the joys of growing your own food.

Great slicer with a creamy-white thin skin and long, straight, uniform 6-8" fruits. This cucumber has a superb juicy, sweet, and mild taste and good crunch, and has been winning tasters over since its introduction.

Growing instructions
Start indoors 3 weeks before last frost and transplant to indicated spacing after threat of frost has passed. Or, direct sow seeds spaced 4" apart after last frost, then thin to indicated spacing once seedlings put on their first true leaves. Plant in moderately fertile soil and water regularly. Cucumbers can be trellised or allowed to grow on the ground. Harvest when fruits are green and white and the skin begins to smoothen, but before they become shiny and yellow.

    These are the lighter green ones in the photo. Third year growing them and is a necessity now! Everyone asks me where to find them and loves them They! They are our absolute favorite! Love them in salads and off the vine. Great germination rates so far. I dream about these all through our long winter here in Dutchess County! Please keep these in your inventory, HVSC! 😁
