Cucumber 'Green dragon'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Green dragon is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 is ideal for Green dragon as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Green dragon 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.
