Product Information

One of the best cucumbers for pickling, our National Pickling Cucumber seeds grow very high-yielding vines of blocky fruit—crispy and tender-skinned!

This variety holds its quality longer than most and is a top-notch selection for pickling when harvested young.

When planting your pickling cucumber seeds outdoors, sow them in an area that receives full sun.

In smaller gardens, planting this pickling cucumber variety along a fence or trellis is the way to go! You can prepare flavorful and crunchy pickles with no bitterness every time. Plus, our National Pickling Cucumber is easy to grow and tolerant of disease and environmental conditions.
