Seed Needs, Cucamelon/Mexican Sour Gherkin Melothria scobra Twin...

Seed Needs, Cucamelon/Mexican Sour Gherkin (Melothria scobra) Twin Pack of 65 Seeds Each

• Quality Cucamelon seeds packaged by Seed Needs. All Tomato seeds sold by Seed Needs are Non-GMO based seed products and are intended for the current & the following growing season. All seeds are produced from open pollinated plants, stored in a temperature controlled facility and constantly moved out due to popularity.
• Cucamelons have the taste of a cucumber that is citrusy and tangy rather than sweet. This is a slow growing vine plant that can grow up to 10 feet under the right conditions. The fruit can grow to be 1 to 2 inches, but should be cultivated before it reaches 1 inch to prevent the fruit from becoming too seedy if used for cooking.
• The vine also produces small yellow flowers and does well climbing up trellises, taking about 60 to 70 days.
• Compared to cucumbers, the Mexican Sour Gherkin is more resistant to pests and tolerant to drought and mild cold (but not frost). You can treat Cucamelon as a perennial, and though the fruits are not particularly high yielding, they produce their fruits yearly.
• Each seed packet measures 3.25" x 4.50" in dimension. The front displays a colorful illustration of the flower and the back displays detailed sowing instructions to grow them.
