🥒 Cucumber LEMON – a round yellow heirloom cucumber with a refreshing, slightly sweet flavour

Lemon Cucumber is a charming heirloom variety that produces small, round, lemon-shaped fruits that turn a bright yellow when ripe. Despite its citrus-like appearance, the flavour is that of a classic cucumber — mild, crisp, juicy and pleasantly sweet, without bitterness.

The thin skin and crunchy flesh make this variety perfect for fresh eating, salads, pickling, fermenting, sandwiches and summer snack platters. It is also excellent for refreshing summer drinks, such as homemade cucumber lemonade.

🍋 Suggested Use – Fresh Cucumber Lemonade

Blend sliced Lemon Cucumber with cold water and fresh lemon juice, sweeten to taste, and serve over ice with mint. The natural sweetness of this variety gives the drink a clean and refreshing flavour.

The plants grow as productive vines reaching 1.5–2 meters with support. This variety performs well in open ground, greenhouses, raised beds or large containers, preferring warm conditions and full sun.
