Cucumber 'Marketmore'

Cucumis sativus



Marketmore is part of the Cucumis genus and is a Cucumber variety. Its scientific name is Cucumis sativus 'Marketmore'.

A long-standing favourite for growing outside as it’s super reliable, performing well even in conditions that are less than perfect. It’s also an absolutely prolific cropper, producing dozens and dozens of heavy cylindrical fruits about 20cm long from late summer onwards. Robustly healthy, it shows some resistance to most diseases, including cucumber mosaic virus1.
Marketmore grows as an Annual and is a Vegetable. Being an Annual, it tends to grow best over the course of a single year. Normally reaches to a mature height of 58.50" [imperial: 150.0 cm]. Ensure a distance of 11.70" (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.47" (1.2 cm). Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Marketmore is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Use USDA Hardiness Zone 3 - 14 as your guideline for the appropriate climate for this plant. Marketmore requires a soil ph of 5.5 - 6.8 meaning it does best in acidic soil. Expect harvests to start to occur in late summer.

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