Lemon Cucumber is a late-1800s heirloom prized for its round, lemon-hued fruits—about tennis-ball size—with thin, tender skins and a crisp, refreshing bite. The flavor is mild and clean with low bitterness, and the small seed cavity keeps slices crunchy instead of watery. Color shifts from pale green to soft yellow; pick before it turns deep gold for the best texture and snap. Naturally hydrating and a source of vitamin K and potassium, Lemon Cucumber brings novelty, utility, and steady harvests—proof that a classic can still feel fresh.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden in the spring after the danger of frost has passed, roughly 1-2 weeks after the average last frost date and when daytime temps are near 70°f. Sow 5-6 seeds per hill and thin to 2-3 plants. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80 degrees. For transplants, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2-3 weeks after your average last frost date
