Variety description

10 August 2026

The mini-cucumber Mini Stars F1 is an early-maturing hybrid with short internodes and a cluster fruiting type, where 3–5 fruits form in a single node. The plant reaches a height of 150–200 cm and has a tendency to develop side shoots, which allows for cultivation in containers and hanging baskets.

The fruits are smooth and crunchy, intended for use as snacks. The hybrid possesses resistance to powdery mildew, as well as intermediate resistance to a number of viruses and fungal diseases, including CMV, CVYV, PRSV, and Px.
