About the Plant

Lemon Cucumber is a unique heirloom variety known for its round shape, pale yellow skin, and mild, refreshing flavor with no bitterness. Despite its name, it does not taste like lemon—rather, it offers a crisp, slightly sweet cucumber flavor. Its cheerful appearance and tender texture make it a favorite for fresh eating and summer salads.

How to Grow (Simple Steps)

• Start seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost or direct sow after frost.

• Sow seeds ½–1 inch deep in warm, well-draining soil.

• Ideal soil temperature for germination: 70–90°F.

• Transplant outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm.

• Provide support for vines or allow them to spread and water regularly.

• Harvest when fruits are light yellow and still tender.

Peruvian Kitchen Inspiration

Lemon Cucumbers pair beautifully with lime, fresh herbs, and light seasonings, making them perfect for refreshing salads and sides inspired by Peruvian summer dishes.
