Product Information

These heirloom straight eight cucumber seeds will produce an All-America Selections (AAS) variety winner, the Straight Eight Cucumber!

A great slicing cucumber, these perfectly straight garden favorites have thick, sweet, mild flesh with excellent flavor that makes this a superb choice for salads or for dipping.

If picked when they are small, these cukes are good for pickling, too. Defined as an heirloom cucumber because home gardeners keep on growing this old favorite for its large, flavorful fruits!

Straight Eight Cucumbers are a vining cucumber plant.
