Calypso F1 Cucumber 25+Seeds – Disease Resistant Crisp High Yield Pickling Cucumber

Grow an abundant crop of crisp, uniform pickling cucumbers with Calypso F1 Cucumber Seeds. Calypso is a dependable hybrid variety known for its heavy yields, early maturity, and attractive dark-green fruits that are excellent for homemade pickles, fresh eating, and summer salads.

The compact fruits are typically harvested around 3–6 inches long, with firm texture and classic cucumber flavor. Calypso is also a gynoecious hybrid, meaning plants produce mostly female flowers for strong fruit production; commercial seed lots commonly include pollinator seed to help ensure fruit set.

This variety is especially valued for its broad disease tolerance, including resistance or tolerance to angular leaf spot, anthracnose, cucumber mosaic virus, downy mildew, powdery mildew, and scab.
