The productive pickling cucumber that has fed generations of gardeners with perfect pickles! This is the famous, old French “gherkin or cornichon” pickler. Listed in America in 1892 by the seedsman J.H. Gregory. Great for making tiny sweet pickles, slices, or fancy dill pickles.
Parisian Pickling Cucumber. Plant Start
Parisian Pickling cucumbers produce small, knobby-skinned fruits that are crisp, flavorful, and perfect for gherkin-style pickling. This vigorous, open-pollinated variety thrives in rich soil and sunny locations. Trellising helps conserve space and ensures straight fruits. Regular harvesting encourages continual production and prevents over-maturity. Ideal for home gardeners and market growers looking for traditional European-style picklers. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in the hottest summer weather.
