Cucumber Straight Eight is a vigorous, open-pollinated heirloom variety prized for its long, straight fruits ideal for slicing and fresh eating. Introduced in 1935 and an All-America Selections winner, this proven cultivar thrives in sun or partial shade, producing high yields with excellent flavor and consistent quality. As a monoecious plant, it requires pollination by bees, insects, or wind—making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Expect harvest around 70 days from planting, with a germination rate of 70% or higher, ensuring reliable establishment. These Non-GMO seeds are sustainably grown and packaged with eco-friendly materials, supporting responsible gardening practices. Whether you're preserving the season's bounty or enjoying fresh slices at the table, Straight Eight delivers the reliability and taste that made it a gardener's favorite for nearly a century.
