About Muncher Persian Cucumber Seeds

Fruit grows 5"–9" long, and can be eaten at any stage of growth. Resistant to cucumber mosaic, powdery mildew, alternaria leaf spot, and anthracnose.

Planting Details
| Row Spacing | 36" |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | 1/2" |
| Seed Spacing | A group of 2 seeds every 12" |
| Germination | 5 – 10 days |
| Start Indoors | 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F. |
| Special Care | Weed shallowly; roots are close to the soil surface. If planting in containers, we recommend a minimum of 10" soil depth and 14" diameter container. Cucumbers are heat sensitive. Several days of temperatures in mid 90s or more can prevent fruit set. Create afternoon shade using taller plants to the south or west, or use a shade cloth. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile. To increase the quality and storage time, once picked, immediately immerse in cold water to disperse “field heat”. |

- Jeanette D.WA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars8/6/26Tasty little cukes
I had no trouble starting these seeds. I used the damp paper towel in a plastic bag method to start them, then put them in a small pot under a grow light until they were sturdy, then transplanted outside. They vine nicely. The cucumbers have a great taste. The only negative is that the skins are prickly, not smooth...like covered with tiny miniscule thorns.
