Supremo is an F1 hybrid cucumber bred for serious production, delivering 55 days from transplant to harvest with impressively broad disease resistance. Its compact growth habit makes it surprisingly efficient in space, producing abundant fruit on plants that won't sprawl across your entire garden. This variety thrives in warm soil with moderate, consistent watering, and it's been bred to handle the diseases that typically plague cucumber crops, from powdery mildew to several virus strains. Sow indoors 3 to 4 weeks before your transplant date, keep seedlings warm (70°F days, 60°F nights minimum), and transplant at 12 inches apart once soil temperatures have truly warmed.

Supremo combines the speed and reliability of a modern hybrid with uncommon disease resistance across seven major pathogens, including Angular Leaf Spot, Powdery Mildew, and four distinct viruses. Its compact growth pattern produces fruit efficiently without requiring excessive trellising, though it will respond well to vertical growing. The consistent 55-day harvest window from transplants makes this variety surprisingly predictable for meal planning, and daily picking during peak season keeps plants productive through the warm months.
Supremo is a slicing cucumber, bred and grown primarily for fresh eating and traditional cucumber dishes where crisp texture and reliable supply matter. Its disease resistance profile suggests it's developed for both home gardens and small-scale commercial production, where the broad protection against viruses and fungal diseases directly translates to edible yield.

Sow seeds indoors 3 to 4 weeks before your transplant date in 50-cell plug trays, sowing 1 to 2 seeds per cell. Maintain temperatures above 70°F during the day and 60°F at night for strong germination and growth.
Transplant 12 inches apart in rows 60 inches apart once both soil and air temperatures have warmed. Do not disturb roots during transplanting; handle seedlings carefully to preserve the root ball.
Once fruit bearing begins, pick daily. Consistent harvesting encourages continued flowering and prevents mature fruit from signaling the plant to stop production. Harvest cucumbers at a size suitable for your intended use, as daily picking maintains plant vigor throughout the season.
