Ashley Cucumber · Cucumis sativus · Heritage Vegetable Seeds

Bring crisp, freshly picked cucumbers to your kitchen garden with Ashley Cucumber, a warm-season variety prized for its refreshing fruit and productive climbing or spreading growth.

Bright green vines, broad foliage and small yellow blossoms give way to firm cucumbers that can be enjoyed freshly sliced, added to salads or used in everyday kitchen recipes. Ashley makes a beautiful addition to a sunny vegetable bed or a spacious growing container with support.
