Best cucumber varieties

Cucumber seeds will give you the taste of summer and that just picked freshness. Want a traditional long fruit? Try ‘Carmen’ or ‘Bella’. For something a bit different, we’ve got ‘Crystal Apple’, which has round fruit, and ‘Mini Munch’ whose fruit can be picked small, making them the perfect snack. Read our cucumbers masterclass for expert advice and find answers to your frequently asked questions below.

What month do you start cucumber seeds?

You can start cucumber seed in March and April if using a propagator, or May to June if you sow them direct into the soil outside.

Are cucumbers hard to grow from seed?

With a little care cucumber seeds are not hard to grow. Start them off in a propagator or warm place and put the seeds on their sides to avoid rot. Read our how to grow cucumbers guide for more advice.

Can you grow cucumbers in a container?

Yes, just choose a big container for them and keep them well-watered and fed. ‘Quick Snack’ is a dwarf variety that’s ideal for a container and ‘Goblin’ is another good choice.

Do you need a greenhouse to grow cucumbers?

No, many of our cucumber seeds can be grown outdoors. Try ‘Burpless Tasty Green’, ‘Crystal Apple’, ‘Goblin’, ‘Jogger’, ‘Marketmore’ and ‘White Wonder’.
