Days to Maturity: 40 to 50
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.
