Planting & Growing
Peticue 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 approximately 12 inches apart. This vegetable plant is an annual, meaning it will grow for one season and die after producing a crop.
This cucumber variety thrives in full sunlight and prefers consistently moist soil but will not tolerate standing water. It grows best in rich, well-drained soils and is adaptable to a range of soil pH levels. Avoid planting in areas with urban pollution or heavy traffic, as this plant does best in cleaner environments.
Peticue Cucumber is perfect for a vegetable garden but can also be grown in containers or pots. When grown in containers, be sure to water more frequently as they tend to dry out faster than garden beds. It's a great option for small gardens or patio spaces.
