Planting & Growing
Burpless Cucumber will grow to be about 12-18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3-4 feet. When planted in rows, space individual plants about 12 inches apart. This vegetable plant is an annual, meaning it will grow for one season and then die after producing a crop.
This cucumber variety thrives in full sunlight and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. It grows best in rich, fertile soils and is adaptable to a variety of soil pH levels. Avoid planting in areas with heavy urban pollution or high-traffic zones to ensure healthy growth.
Burpless Cucumber is perfect for traditional vegetable gardens but also does well in containers or pots. If growing in containers, be sure to water more frequently as they tend to dry out faster than in garden beds. It is an excellent choice for small gardens, patios, or balconies.
