Product Overview
Sweet Success is a seedless, burpless cucumber renowned for its long, smooth, dark-green fruit that can reach around 14 inches (30 cm) when grown vertically. The flavour is mild, crisp, and pleasantly sweet, with no bitterness, making it excellent for fresh eating, tossing into salads, or enjoying straight from the plant. The vines grow with strong vigor and produce heavily, and because this variety is parthenocarpic, it forms fruit without pollination—resulting in reliably seedless cucumbers when grown away from other types. With resistance to several common cucumber diseases, it performs well in both outdoor beds and greenhouse environments. Sweet Success matures in approximately 54 days, giving you an early and continuous supply of tender slicing cucumbers.
