Description
Cucumber Orfeus is a medium-early parthenocarpic hybrid with a vegetation period of 45 to 55 days, allowing harvest as early as late spring and until October. The plant has medium growth vigor and a compact, medium-branched form, making it easy to grow both in greenhouses and open ground. Orfeus is distinguished by its high yield: in open ground, it reaches about 10 kg per square meter, and in plastic-covered structures, from 17 to 21 kg per square meter.
The fruits of this cucumber have a regular cylindrical shape, a deep green color, and a bumpy surface. Their length varies from 7 to 18 cm, and weight from 60 to 110 grams. The flesh has a crisp texture and a rich aroma, and the fruits are free of bitterness due to the genetic characteristics of the variety. This quality is retained even after canning and pickling, making Orfeus versatile in culinary use — suitable for fresh salads, pickling, and processing.
The Orfeus hybrid is valued for its resistance to most common cucumber diseases, reducing the need for frequent protective treatments and increasing harvest reliability. The seeds are suitable for various cultivation methods, including seedlings, open ground, and greenhouses, as well as heavy soils. Due to its qualities and versatility, cucumber Orfeus is a popular choice among both farmers and home gardeners.
