CU414A - Socrates Organic
CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Sweet and crunchy Socrates Organic is a thin-skinned Beit Alpha variety specially bred for cool conditions. It stays productive under lower light conditions in the autumn and early spring, but it thrives in poly-tunnels, greenhouses, and in the field. Socrates Organic cucumber seeds are parthenocarpic, so the plants can produce fruits without pollination, and that means seedless fruits. Later in the season, if pollination occurs, seeds will form. This new hybrid is very productive, with a good resistance to scab and powdery mildew. Trellis the vines so the fruits can develop straight as they hang. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
