Product Details

Cucamelon, also known as ‘Mouse melon’, is a delightful small fruit popular in farmers’ markets. Resembling miniature cucumbers, these unique melons deliver a flavour reminiscent of cucumber with a hint of lime. They thrive in warm, sunny locations and are ideally suited for garden enthusiasts seeking to diversify their edible selections. When cultivating cucamelons, sow under cover (protected/heated) from mid-spring, placing 3-4 seeds half an inch deep in a 3-inch pot filled with good compost. It’s crucial to keep them away from cold, damp conditions; using a propagator or a warm windowsill is recommended. Transplant seedlings no later than three weeks after seeding to avoid damaging their tap roots. Although they prefer growing under glass, they can also flourish outdoors in a sheltered sunny spot. Key Features:
  • Approximately 10 seeds per packet
  • Pest-free, rapid growth with high productivity
  • Excellent for salads, salsas or raw consumption
