Telegraph Improved Cucumber Seeds are a warm-season crop for gardeners wanting something productive, unusual or especially eye-catching. This packet contains approximately 15 seeds.

Telegraph Improved performs best in a warm, sheltered position, with greenhouse or polytunnel growing recommended for heat-loving types in cooler UK areas. Feed and water consistently once plants are established for strong growth and better yields.

💡 Top Tips

Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
