Cucumis sikkimensis is a distinctive Indian cucumber species that at the start of its life looks like any other cucumber with long slender scrambling vines and tiny yellow flowers. Fruits can sometimes reach over a foot long and 6 inches wide, with roughly a football shape to them. Harvested when young they are like a standard green cucumber, but allowed to ripen fully (frequently developing a lemony background but not much bitterness), the skin browns and cracks in reticulated patterns, giving it a very artistic appearance.

Packets contain approx. 15 seeds each.
