Cucumber 'Merlin' is perfect for the greenhouse or a polytunnel. This all-female variety produces excellent crops of short, smooth skinned fruits measuring up to 15cm, with a mild flavour and no bitter aftertaste. Fruits are produced at every node, every few days so you can be sure of a bumper harvest. This reliable variety shows good resistance to common diseases including powdery mildew, downy mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. Height: 3m. Spread: 45cm.

When growing cucumbers, harvest regularly to encourage, long continuous production. Pick the fruits whilst young and tender before they show signs of producing seeds, as older fruits can become bitter. Harvesting cucumbers is best done early in the morning when temperatures remain cool.
