'Ridge Perfection' Cucumber Plants
- A cross between a ridge and greenhouse cucumber, ‘Ridge Perfection’ produces bumper crops of cool, sweet cucumbers with lovely grooved skin and an excellent crunch.
- Trailing cucumbers like this one can be left to scramble over the ground or trained up a support, whichever you prefer. Your cucumbers will be ready to harvest after eight to ten weeks, when the skin is firm and the ridges well-developed.
Your cukes will work fantastically in salads, garnishes and G&Ts. Looking for some recipe inspo? Try our smacked cucumber salad for a delicious summer meal and an unbeatable stress-reducing activity! - Grow your ‘Ridge Perfection’ plants on a sunny patio, in a raised bed or under glass. If growing outside, plant out after the last risk of frost. Your plants have been lovingly cared for at our nursery and sent to you as healthy young plants, ready to get in the ground.
- As the cucumbers begin to grow, they become tipped with glorious yellow flowers, attracting pollinating insects like bees and adding wonderful ornamental appeal to your veg plot.

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.
