Overview
Tyria is a Dutch hybrid of the greenhouse type, yet it also does well outdoors. Vines bear long, lightly ribbed, dark green cucumbers around 14 inches with no bitterness. The plant is all-female and parthenocarpic, meaning fruit sets without any pollination, which is why it thrives under cover where bees are scarce. Built-in resistance to scab, powdery mildew, and target leaf spot makes it easier to keep healthy through a long season. Train it up a string or trellis so the long fruit stays straight.
