Cucumber 'Richmond Green' Heirloom Seeds

Richmond Green is an Australian heirloom that is suited to our growing conditions. Plump apple-shaped cucumbers with white, tangy flesh, it is the perfect 'slicing' cucumber, enjoyed best with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and the early summer sun. Picking encourages more production, so pick liberally.
