Liefje
Liefje is a visually appealing, mixed flowering cucumber for processing with harmonious, somewhat stocky fruit with a strong shine, dark peel and few prickles. Also great for snacking. The variety is productive till the end of the season after a somewhat late start. Good leaf health, long season. Very good aromatic taste.
