Cucumis sativus 'Patio Snacker' Cucumber
Cucumis sativus 'Patio Snacker' is a vigorous, compact hybrid cucumber designed specifically for small-space gardening. Growing on short, manageable vines that reach just 3 to 5 feet, this variety is perfect for patio containers, hanging baskets, and balcony trellises where space is at a premium. Unlike sprawling field varieties, 'Patio Snacker' produces full-sized, 8-inch slicing cucumbers on a controlled plant. It is parthenocarpic, meaning it sets fruit reliably even without pollinators, ensuring a heavy, continuous harvest of crunchy, non-bitter cucumbers throughout the summer.
Culinary and Practical Uses
The dark green, thin-skinned fruit is crisp and flavorful with no bitterness, making it excellent for fresh slicing in salads, sandwiches, and vegetable platters.
Perfect for "snacking" right off the vine; the skin is tender enough that peeling is not required.
While primarily a slicer, the fruits can be harvested young (at 3 to 4 inches) for making quick refrigerator pickles.
Characteristics
Foliage: Large, lobed, dark green leaves that provide ample shade for the developing fruit; the lush canopy is dense but manageable on a trellis.
Growth Habit: Controlled, semi-bush vining habit; unlike standard vines that take over a garden, these are bred to climb short trellises or cascade neatly from large pots.
Flowers: Produces bright yellow, bell-shaped flowers; because the plant is parthenocarpic, these blooms develop into fruit even in greenhouses or screened porches where bees are scarce.
Seeds: Cream-colored, flat, oval seeds found within the fruit; however, the harvested cucumbers have a small seed cavity and are slow to develop tough seeds if picked promptly.
Growing Requirements
Sun:Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for maximum yield and disease resistance.
Soil: Prefers rich, fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8; container soil should be high quality to prevent compaction.
Water: Requires high, consistent moisture; irregular watering can lead to bitter fruit, so keep container soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Spacing: Plant 1 plant per 3-5 gallon container, or space 18 to 24 inches apart in garden beds to allow for airflow.
Maintenance: Provide a small trellis or cage for support to keep fruit off the soil; harvest frequently to encourage the production of new cucumbers.

I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
