Cucumber – Straight Eight – Cucumis sativus

The Straight Eight Cucumber is a classic heirloom variety prized for its uniform, straight, dark-green fruits that grow up to 8 inches long. Known for their crisp texture and mild, refreshing flavor, these cucumbers are ideal for slicing, adding to salads, or pickling. A reliable performer in the home garden, Straight Eight thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, delivering high yields throughout the season. Its vigorous vines benefit from trellising or room to sprawl and offer resistance to common cucumber diseases, making this a dependable choice for gardeners of all experience levels. The plants are easy to grow from seed and germinate quickly, producing a steady harvest of firm, flavorful cucumbers that are as delicious fresh from the vine as they are in your favorite dishes.
