🥒 Palanka Gherkin Cucumber Seeds (Cucumis sativus)
💰 Price: Package of 30–40 (1 g) Seeds
Palanka Gherkin is a traditional Serbian cucumber variety with a long history of cultivation in the region. It is especially appreciated for its excellent flavor, vigorous growth, and outstanding qualities for homemade pickling.
The plants are lush and vigorous, producing long shoots and numerous fruits throughout the growing season. The variety reaches harvest approximately 50 days after germination, making it a relatively early cucumber that can provide a generous crop during the summer.
The fruits are cylindrical and green, with characteristic large warts and black spines. This distinctive appearance is typical of traditional pickling cucumbers and reflects the firm, crunchy texture of the fruit.
When harvested young, Palanka Gherkin has crisp, juicy flesh with a refreshing cucumber flavor. It can be enjoyed fresh in salads and sandwiches, but its greatest strength is undoubtedly its use for pickling and canning.
🥒 This variety is particularly excellent for homemade pickles. Its firm flesh and characteristic texture make it ideal for preserving whole cucumbers, preparing mixed vegetable pickles, and making traditional winter preserves.
For the best results, harvest the fruits regularly while they are still young and tender. Frequent harvesting encourages the plant to continue producing new flowers and fruits throughout the season.

❄️ Temperature & Hardiness
Cucumber is a warm-season vegetable and is highly sensitive to frost.
🌡️ Minimum temperature for active growth: approximately 10°C (50°F).
🌱 Ideal growing temperature: approximately 22–30°C (72–86°F).
❄️ Temperatures around 0°C (32°F) can severely damage or kill cucumber plants.
Seeds should therefore be planted outdoors only after the danger of spring frost has passed and the soil has warmed sufficiently.
🌱 Growing Conditions
Palanka Gherkin performs best in a sunny, warm location with fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a position receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
The soil should be rich in organic matter and capable of retaining moisture while still allowing excess water to drain away.
Regular watering is particularly important during flowering and fruit development. Avoid allowing the plants to suffer from prolonged drought, as inconsistent moisture can negatively affect fruit quality and productivity.
🌱 Sowing Instructions
For direct sowing, wait until the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached at least 15°C (59°F).
Sow the seeds approximately 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 inches) deep.
Leave approximately 40–50 cm between individual plants, with around 100–150 cm between rows, depending on the growing system.
Seeds can also be started indoors for an earlier harvest and transplanted outdoors once the plants are well established and temperatures are consistently warm.
🌿 Care & Harvesting
Palanka Gherkin benefits from regular watering, fertile soil, and plenty of sunlight. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and reduce weed growth.
Because the variety produces long shoots, the plants can be grown directly along the ground or supported on a trellis. Growing vertically can improve air circulation and make harvesting easier.
Harvest the cucumbers frequently while they are still young and firm. Smaller fruits are particularly desirable for pickling because they retain their crisp texture during preservation.
