Persian Baby Cucumbers "Green Fingers"

Green Fingers is a premium Persian baby cucumber variety prized for its smooth, thin skin and crisp, refreshing texture. These compact cucumbers are best harvested small, when fruits are 3-5 inches long, making them perfect for snacking straight from the garden.

Plants are vigorous, early-bearing, and self-pollinating, setting fruit reliably even under challenging growing conditions. With good tolerance to powdery mildew and consistent production throughout the season, Green Fingers delivers high-quality baby cucumbers over a long harvest window.
