Lemon Cucumber Seeds (Cucumis sativus) – 125+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Round Yellow Fruits with Mild, Refreshing Flavor, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners

Lemon Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a charming heirloom variety producing small, round, lemon-yellow cucumbers with thin skin and crisp, mild flavor. Its unique color and shape make it a standout in the garden and a conversation piece at the table. These tender cucumbers are perfect for slicing fresh, adding to salads, or pickling for a delightful twist on classic recipes.

Vigorous, productive vines yield heavily throughout the summer and thrive in full sun with well-draining soil. Lemon Cucumbers mature in about 65–70 days and continue to produce abundantly when harvested regularly. Their compact vines can be grown on trellises, fences, or in garden beds for efficient use of space.

Loved for their crisp texture and refreshing taste, these cucumbers are low in bitterness and ideal for fresh eating straight from the vine. Their thin skin means no peeling is needed—simply rinse and enjoy for a cool, hydrating snack.

A classic favorite among home gardeners, Lemon Cucumber combines novelty, productivity, and taste, bringing charm and color to any vegetable garden or patio planter.

🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 125

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 60°F. Choose a sunny location with rich, well-draining soil. For early harvests, seeds can be started indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost and transplanted carefully after hardening off.

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 12–18 inches apart, providing trellises or supports for the vines to climb. Water deeply and consistently to promote even growth and prevent bitterness. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps fruits clean.

Harvest regularly when fruits are about the size of a small lemon and still tender. Frequent picking encourages continued production and prevents overripe cucumbers from reducing future yields.
