The Excelsior is a garden staple. This organic cucumber is crisp, clean and fresh tasting. Its emerald green appearance and smaller size makes it ideal to eat fresh or for canning. Excelsior prefers warmer weather, but if planted at the right time, it can grow in most climates. This cucumber performs best when grown on a trellis, or another item it can hold onto.
Resists: CMV/PM/S/TLS.
Selecting the best varieties of vegetables to grow each year should include not only flavor, yield, and growth habit, but also disease resistance. Disease resistant varieties will suffer less damage from diseases than plants with no resistance. Find resistant varieties for issues you have had in your garden or those that are common in your region. Your local Extension office is a great resource for more information.
