Cucumber Pickling Varieties

Classy Hybrid Pickling Cucumbers
High Yields and Excellent Disease Resistance








Predominately female plants bear tons of uniform 6-8” cucumbers. Deep green and thin skinned, Classy is a top choice for pickling. Approx. 35 seeds per pkt. 57 Days.



Bush Pickle Hybrid Pickling Cucumber
Plants Spread Just 2 1/2-3 Feet



The compact choice for small gardens and containers is Bush Pickle Hybrid Pickling Cucumber! Bears early, white-spined, 5-inch cukes in half the space needed by most vines. Cool, mild flavor. Scab, mosaic tolerant. 45 DAYS.

Slicing cucumbers grow long and smooth; picklers are blockier and faster to produce. Both can be packed into jars, however, when harvested at a small size.

Note: ‘Gynoecious’ cukes bear only female flowers for heavier production. But you need to plant another variety nearby to ensure pollination. We include seeds of a pollinator variety with all gynoecious cucumber seeds.
