Cucumber 'Chinese Snake'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Chinese Snake is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. A soil ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 is ideal for Chinese Snake as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Cucumber plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Chinese Snake about 14 days after your last frost date.

As Chinese Snake is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late spring.
