Cucumber Painted Serpent Armenian Seeds produce distinctive, creamy, pale-green cucumbers with long, ridged fruits that are crisp, juicy, and delicious. Known as “Yard-long Cucumbers,” they are bitter-free, crunchy, and have thin skins with few seeds, never turning pithy or hollow. These heirloom cucumbers are perfect for decorative, scalloped slices and thrive in hot summer climates. To grow, plant seeds when night temperatures stay above 50°F (10°C) in well-amended soil, ensuring enough space for vines to stretch vertically with supports like a tomato cage. Regular watering and consistent moisture are key for quality fruits, which should be harvested before seeds become too large. Ideal for salads, Armenian cucumbers require no peeling—just slice and enjoy their ornamental edges. For added versatility, scoop out the flesh and use the hollowed pieces for stuffed salads or appetizers.
