Description

Ideal for greenhouse growing

Produces only female flowers
Heavy harvests of long smooth-skinned fruits
Train up a trellis or support

Cucumber ‘Passandra’ is great for greenhouse growing, producing heavy harvests of long, smooth-skinned fruits that are both juicy and delicious. It’s an all-female variety, so there’s no need to remove male flowers to stop pollinated fruit developing seeds, which give the fruit a bitter flavour. Cucumber ‘Passandra’ will climb up a trellis or support framework, giving you plenty of space for other plants in the greenhouse.

How you will receive your plants:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plants in 7cm pots, ready to plant out.

Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered frost-free environment and water regularly to keep the compost moist

Planting tips and hints:

Before planting cucumbers outdoors, harden the plants off for a fortnight by placing them outside in their pots during the day and moving them back indoors overnight. Plant outdoors in a sheltered sunny spot once all risk of frost is past. Provide supports for the plants to climb up.

Feeding and aftercare:

Water regularly and feed weekly with a high-potassium liquid feed once flowers appear. Pinch out the growing tip once the plant reaches the top of its support, and pinch out the growing tips of side shoots after fruits form, leaving two leaves above the fruit. Harvest regularly to encourage more fruits.
