Diva Cucumbers
Diva cucumbers are a hybrid of a traditional cucumber and a bush. The former is compact and does not require a trellis, while the latter tends to grow on the ground and promote disease. Both varieties are semi-glossy and mature in 58 days. The Diva is seedless but can produce seeds if pollinated by other cuke plants. The Diva produces all female flowers and does not require pollen. It also has a high yield. It is resistant to scab and powdery mildew, and is easy to grow.
Diva is the most popular variety, because it is easy to grow and has a sweet, non-bitter flavor. They are 6 to 8 inches long and usually seedless, though some may produce seeds after pollination. It is also one of the most common types of slicing cucumbers, due to its thin, tender skin. Unlike most other varieties, the Diva is pest-resistant and produces heavy yields.
This slicing cucumber is considered to be the best of all types. Amira, which is not seedless, has been recognized as the best performing plant in 2002. This award recognizes the most desirable plants in the United States. The Diva is the only type of slicing cucumber, a variety that is seedless. The seeds are thin and are easy to digest. However, it is advisable to avoid using these varieties as pesticides and herbicides in your garden.
