🥒 Cucumber BUSHY – a compact, early and productive variety perfect for small spaces

Bushy is an early-maturing cucumber variety originating from southern Russia, developed specifically for small gardens, balconies and container growing. Unlike long vining cucumbers, Bushy forms a short, dense plant habit, making it ideal when space is limited.

The plants produce abundant smooth, dark green fruits measuring around 8–12 cm, which are crisp, juicy and perfect for fresh eating, salads or pickling. Bushy is known for its reliability, fast maturity (around 45–50 days) and excellent flavour.

This variety thrives in full sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. It grows well in open ground, greenhouses or large containers.

🌿 Container Growing Tips (for best results)

Bush-type cucumbers like Bushy are excellent for pots and containers, as they do not produce long vines.

• Choose a pot at least 30–38 cm deep with good drainage.

• Use a light, nutrient-rich potting mix (potting soil + compost).

• Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged — cucumbers in containers dry out faster.

• Place in full sun for best flavour and yield.

• Can be grown alongside herbs or small companion plants.
