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”. |

- SheriVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6/9/26Best Cucumbers
These are hands down the BEST cucumbers I have ever grown! Started these winter sowing and transplanted after last frost date. They are the best tasting cucumbers and don't need peeling because the skins are not tough. These cucumbers also seem to be resistant to the pests and the crazy weather we have had.
BIBotanical Interests6/9/26Hey Sheri,
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that our Muncher Persian Cucumber Seeds have given you the BEST cucumbers you've ever grown! Your winter sowing technique sounds like a perfect way to get them started. We love that you're enjoying those tender, no-peel skins and amazing flavor - that's exactly what makes these Persian cucumbers so special! It's fantastic that they've been tough enough to handle your pests and crazy weather too. Thanks for sharing your incredible Muncher cucumber success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️

Zone 5b here. I planted an entire envelope in an area where I have grown cucumbers successfully in the past. I followed directions on the envelope. Not a single one sprouted.
