Cucumber Green Light F1

2020 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

This little beauty is an excellent mini cucumber, said many of the AAS Judges. The yield was higher than the comparison varieties with more attractive fruit, earlier maturity, and superior eating quality. “I would absolutely grow this in my home garden” commented one judge. Grow Green Light on stakes or poles for a productive, easy-to-harvest vertical garden that will yield 40 or more spineless fruits per plant. Pick the fruits when they’re small, between 3-4” long, and you’ll be rewarded with great-tasting cucumbers, even without peeling. Succession plantings will ensure a summer-long harvest.

Fun fact: This cucumber is parthenocarpic meaning it is a seedless mini cucumber that does not need pollination. For more on cucumber types, click here.

Reviews

  1. Jen, Krohn Conservator, Cincinnati, OH – 12/14/2020

    This cucumber just wouldn’t stop producing! I grew this plant mixed in with other AAS winners in a display garden. It grew up props, through other plants, and then trailed through a picket fence. Even in harsh conditions with minimal care, this cucumber was prolific. The cucumbers were extremely flavorful and had a very thin skin, so no peeling was required.
