Cucumber Plants
Nothing says summer quite like the cool, crisp taste of fresh cucumber, and what could be fresher than picking your own straight from the vine? Vigorous and easy-to-grow, cucumber vines look fabulous sprawling over the ground outside or trained upwards as climbers on a sunny windowsill. Our vegetable growers in Lancashire have over sixty years of experience, and you can see it in every plant. Their curated range of premium plants includes both mini and full size varieties, plus new grafted plants for improved harvests.
Which cucumber should I choose?
All cucumber plants grow in roughly the same way, so choose one according to where you’ll be growing it (indoors or out) and the kind of cucumber you like to eat best. Depending on where you’re planning to grow your cucumbers, check the plant info to make sure your choice is suitable for growing indoors or out. The other main difference is in size - traditional full sized varieties like Kuper and Ridge Perfection are great for slicing and juicing, whereas snack varieties like Mini Hana are a good choice for lunchboxes or pickling. All female varieties like Femspot will naturally produce more fruits.
Growers' tips
A sunny windowsill, conservatory or greenhouse is the ideal place to grow your own cucumbers. Growing cucumbers in pots is easy and space-saving, with attractive flowering vines which can be trained up a trellis. Just keep them well watered and remember to remove any male flowers from indoor grown plants. Outdoor cucumber varieties will also grow happily in a sunny, sheltered spot in your garden after the last frost has passed. Read more cucumber growing tips from our experts.
