About This

• Origin and Development: Ashley Slicing Cucumbers were developed in 1956 by CU's South Carolina Truck Experiment Station for the southern fresh produce market, primarily designed to withstand hot, humid conditions.
• Characteristics: This variety produces dark green, 7-8 inch long cucumbers, which are cylindrical with a slight taper at the stem end. They are known for their crisp, crunchy texture, making them excellent for slicing and fresh consumption.
• Growing Conditions: Ashley cucumbers are vigorous growers that thrive under warm conditions. They are resistant to downy mildew, which makes them particularly suitable for regions with high humidity. They can be grown on the ground or trellised, with the latter method saving space and improving fruit quality.
• Health Benefits: Cucumbers, including the Ashley variety, are about 90% water, making them excellent for hydration. They are rich in Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and manganese, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Quality: Fresh seeds for the current & following season that originate from a temperature & moisture-controlled facility.
• Quantity: Generous seed counts allow you to share with friends and family or easily store the extras for next season.
• Packets: Beautifully illustrated 3.5" x 5" packets feature easy, step-by-step seed sowing guides on the back.
• Promise: We never knowingly supply GMO products. Majority of our seeds are open-pollinated & heirloom with a few hybrids.
• Germination: Get the freshest seed from growers. When sown correctly, you will start seeing results in just a few days.
• Freshness: Seeds are safely secured in tear & moisture-resistant packaging, keeping them fresher, longer than competitors.
