Cucumber White Wonder Bianco Lungo

Cucumber White Wonder Bianco Lungo. A great outdoor Heirloom variety which originated in America in 1893. Attractive creamy-ivory, 7 inch long fruits with delicious white crispy flesh and mild sweet flavour are reliably produced in abundance on good strong vigorous plants that can be left on the ground or grown with support. Very easy variety to cultivate with minimal care required.

Cultivation advice

• Sow under cover (protected) from Mid spring, 3-4 seeds 1in deep in a 3in pot in good compost, and thin later to the best one or two plants per clump.
• Transplant no later than 3 weeks after seeding as cucumbers have a tap root that can be easily damaged. Ensure the weather is warm if planting outside, ensuring a sheltered and sunny position. Cucumbers germinate and grow best when summer really gets going or under glass.
• To avoid bitterness, keep plants evenly moist at all times.
• Can be trained on a trellis to save garden space or left to roam.
• Keep them picked and they’ll keep producing.
