Straight Eight Cucumber 100 Seeds Cucumis sativus

Straight Eight is a dependable heirloom cucumber (Cucumis sativus) that has been a favorite among home gardeners for generations because of its consistent production, excellent flavor, and uniform fruit. Vigorous vines typically grow 6–8 feet long and spread 2–3 feet, producing an abundance of straight, dark green cucumbers that average 7–8 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. The crisp, tender flesh has a mild, refreshing taste with very few seeds when harvested young, making it an excellent choice for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and homemade pickles. This warm-season annual grows best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with regular watering throughout the growing season. Harvesting fruit frequently encourages continued production over many weeks. Easy to grow and well suited to garden beds, raised beds, or trellises, Straight Eight is a reliable variety that provides generous yields of high-quality cucumbers for gardeners of all experience levels.
