'Kuper F1' Grafted Cucumber Plant
- Smooth, glossy dark green cucumbers growing to 32-36cm, with a crisp texture and bitter-free flavour
- Perfect for salads, smoothies and juices, raita, couscous bowls or garnishing a G&T
- Grow in a greenhouse or a sunny, sheltered spot outdoors - will need support
- F1 hybrids combine the best qualities of two top performing varieties to produce a plant with improved vigour and bigger crops
- Plant out after the first frosts and harvest from June to October
- Premium garden ready plants grown by vegetable experts on a family run farm in Lancashire and sent to you at the best possible time for planting
- Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint than anything you can buy from a shop
- Grafting combines the top part of one plant with the root system of another, more vigorous variety. As they grow, their tissues fuse, giving you the vigour of the rootstock combined with the characteristics of the variety you have chosen. This makes them healthier, more productive and less susceptible to pests and diseases
- Easy to grow and care for - you should see your first cucumbers within 8-10 weeks

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
