Quick Snack is a versatile mini cucumber which can grow outside in a garden or inside on a sunny windowsill or counter. It’s perfect for a tabletop or planted in a mixed container with a trellis for support. Quick Snack is a parthenocarpic variety, which means it will set fruits without a pollinator! This cucumber is perfectly adapted to the urban grower with its compact plant habit. It is quick to produce handfuls of smooth, cocktail-sized, 2-2 1/2 inch (5-6 cm) delicious, crisp and sweet tasting snackers.
