With the 'Spacemaster' Cucumber, you no longer need a large garden or open space to enjoy fresh, home-grown cucumbers. This variety is ideal for growing in containers or restricted spaces, yet still yields normal-sized cucumbers. The plant grows as an annual climber up to 2m (6ft 7 in) and prefers well-drained, moist soil. The flowers are monoecious and self-fertile, pollinated by insects from July to September, with seeds ripening from August to October. This widely cultivated plant is in the same genus as muskmelon and squash and is perfect for those who want to grow cucumbers but have limited space. Learn more about this variety on plants.usda.gov.
