General Information: Diva is a premium, all-female, parthenocarpic cucumber known for exceptional sweetness, thin edible skin, and virtually seedless fruits. It produces heavily even in cooler conditions and does not require pollination to set fruit. Plants are resistant to powdery mildew and scab, making them reliable for both container and garden growing. Diva offers a crisp, refreshing texture and is considered one of the best-tasting slicer cucumbers for home gardeners.
