Gherkin & pickling cucumber seeds — crisp little fruit for the jar

Gherkins are small, crisp, often knobbly cucumbers bred to be picked young for pickling — prolific, easy and a brilliant way to use a summer glut. They belong to the Cucumis sativus family within our cucumber and fruiting vegetable ranges. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Warmth-loving, so sow once it is warm — the calendar shows when.

Pickling and snacking

Pick gherkins small and firm for crunchy pickles, or let a few grow on for fresh eating. They grow just like our other cucumbers and are close cousins of the gourds and squash.

Growing a heavy crop

Sow into warm soil or start in pots, train up a net or cane to keep the fruit clean, and never let the roots dry out. Pick often — the more you pick, the more they crop. See all fruiting veg and vegetable seeds.

Fancy growing your own crunchy cucumbers and pickles? Explore the wider range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gherkin?
A small, often knobbly cucumber variety harvested young for pickling, crisp and full of flavour.

When do I sow them?
Once it is reliably warm — like all cucumbers they hate cold soil; start in pots for an early crop.

How do I get a heavy crop?
Grow up a net or cane in a warm, sunny spot, keep the roots moist and pick often while small.

Can I grow them outdoors?
Yes — ridge and gherkin types are tougher than greenhouse cucumbers and crop well outside.
