Description Orfei
Cucumber Orpheus F1 — an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid, suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses. This variety features a compact, medium-height plant with a medium-early ripening period, ranging from 40 to 55 days depending on growing conditions. The cucumber fruits are cylindrical, bright green with possible lighter stripes, measuring 10 to 18 cm in length and weighing 60 to 110 grams. They have a bumpy surface and are rarely covered with large spines, facilitating harvest.

One key feature of the Orpheus variety is the absence of bitterness in flavor, achieved through its parthenocarpic pollination type. This makes the cucumbers versatile for fresh consumption, salads, and preservation in vinegar or brine, while maintaining a crisp texture. High yield — from 10 kg per square meter in open ground to 21 kg under plastic coverings — ensures a stable and abundant harvest from July to October.

The Orpheus F1 variety is highly resistant to major cucumber diseases, including powdery mildew, downy mildew, and especially false downy mildew. This trait reduces the need for chemical plant protection, which is especially important for hobbyist and eco-oriented farms. Thanks to its combination of flavor, disease resistance, and high productivity, cucumber Orpheus F1 is a popular choice among both farmers and home gardeners.
