Product Overview
Cucumber Pickling Gherkin Seeds
20 seeds
A traditional, early maturing gherkin variety that is perfect for pickling whole or sliced. Plants are reliable croppers, producing good yields right through summer. The fruits are crisp, flavourful, and ideal for preserving in jars or enjoying fresh in salads.
How To Grow
Sow seeds 12mm deep directly into the final growing position. Plant 2–3 seeds in each clump, then thin to the strongest seedling. Allow 40–50cm between clumps. Once young plants have developed 5–6 leaves, pinch out the growing tips to encourage branching and more side shoots. Keep soil consistently moist. Seedlings typically emerge within 6–10 days.
When To Plant

Important Note
These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL). Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties of seeds. It does not affect your crops or harm beneficial insects such as bees. If your packet has been treated, it will be clearly marked with a warning, and the seeds will be dyed a distinct colour.
