Cucumis sativus

ORGANIC. South Wind Slicer yields straight, medium-green, 7- to 8-inch cucumbers with excellent flavor and no bitterness, borne on robust, downy mildew-resistant plants. This new release was bred by Edmund Frost of Common Wealth Seeds in Louisa, Virginia, whose focus is on disease-resistant crops for the Southeast. Each summer, warm winds from the tropics carry downy mildew spores to gardens and farms across the US. They unfortunately find a particularly hospitable environment in the humid Southeastern region, where they wreak havoc on many crops, particularly cucumbers and squash. Their arrival may be inevitable, but with the South Wind Slicer it no longer has to mean the end of your cucumber harvest!

1 gram packet contains a minimum of 30 seeds.
