This Japanese native is a vigorous and resilient annual belonging to the cucumber family. Its robust vine can grow up to 30cm long and produces large yellow flowers, which are harvested as leafy shoots or mature 17-20 cm dark green fruits with heavy textures. Not only does it thrive in warmer climates, but due to its plentiful nutrient content, it has been linked to many health benefits - so much so that this heat-tolerant vegetable is also grown widely throughout Japan and other tropical countries in Asia!
Soak in warm water for 24 hours or gently clip the seed to help it germinate. Sow in spring after frost at 25mm deep. Germinate in 1-2 weeks at 25-35oC. Space 60cm apart. Maturity in 60-70 days.
Estimated Delivery Time Frame:3 - 8 Business Days
