Gherkins 'Hokus'

  • Product number: 017110
  • Origin: South Asia
  • Latin: Cucumis sativus

ORGANICALLY GROWN SEEDS! A robust, somewhat older variety, which yields a good harvest outdoors. The fruits are quite smooth and bitter-free. The harvesting stage determines the coarseness: those who prefer fine, small gherkins should harvest early, larger fruits can be eaten as mini cucumbers or pickled as "zure bom" (sour bomb).
