Overview
Burpee Hybrid II is W. Atlee Burpee's 1984 update to its Burpee Hybrid slicing cucumber. This F1 hybrid comes in earlier, yields more, and produces fruit that runs slightly longer than the original. Fruits are long, straight, and green, the classic shape for slicing. It carries resistance to cucumber mosaic virus and downy mildew, two of the most common problems in home plantings. First pickings arrive around 55 days from sowing, and the variety was bred for wide adaptation across regions. Give the vines a trellis to keep the long fruit straight and clean, and keep harvesting so plants keep setting. A dependable choice for gardeners who want a quick slicing cucumber from a familiar seed house.
