Growing Information
Growing Iznik Hybrid Mini Cucumber
‘Iznik’ is a premium European-style cocktail cucumber prized for its smooth, dark green fruits, crisp texture, and mild, refreshing flavor. The cucumbers are seedless, spineless, and thin-skinned, with a subtle melon-like sweetness that makes them especially enjoyable straight from the garden. Short, productive vines set fruit without pollination, helping ‘Iznik’ perform reliably even during periods of heat or stress.
Start ‘Iznik’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. This compact variety is well suited to containers and smaller gardens and performs especially well when grown on a trellis.
Ready to harvest in about 60 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach a usable size while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Crisp, refreshing, and versatile, ‘Iznik’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, snacking, lunch boxes, and appetizers.

Best cucumber for pickles! Smooth, crisp, and prolific.

It germinated right away and I have baby cukes after 4 weeks.

I can’t review on the actual cucumber, but I can say that the germination rate was fantastic!!!

I’m very impressed by the Iznik variety! I purchased just 5 seeds for my indoor hydroponic set up and all 5 germinated. They all grew vertically up a trellis Kratky style in Aerogarden nutrients with just nutrient water top offs in each of their 5 gallon pails. The main vines reached 5’ in length and each had a couple shorter side vines- yet each main vine had too many cucumbers to count. By day 49 I was harvesting the first 4” cucumber and there were a bunch more ripening up and ready soon after. The flavor is mellow and slightly sweet with a nice crisp texture. Perfect for snacking, sandwiches & salads. This is a very prolific, disease resistant, and easy to grow variety for indoor hydroponics aside from the main 5’ vine which is easy to accommodate- and that makes this variety perfect for small spaces! No fuss needed with nutrients- just 12 ml of Aerogarden per gallon of water is all I used and the Iznik was incredibly prolific. I wish I could post pictures on my review because you’d be amazed at the number of cucumbers she’s still producing.

I have grown the Muncher, Green light, Diva, and this Iznik mini cucumber. The green light is fantastic for very early and I've gotten 100 cucumbers per vine. The muncher is a great all around and maybe second best for taste. The Diva is great all around also and right there with taste. But Iznik is by far the best tasting and very prolific and disease resistant. It was the last plant out of all of them to succumb to the disease's. It taste almost like it is seasoned without anything on it. It last longer than most of the others after picking also. The Muncher last the longest.
