With its fresh, crisp and bitter-free fruits, the Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber might just become your go-to cucumber variety. Sweet Burpless Bush prolifically produces mid-green cukes up to 10 inches in length, which are perfect for slicing and eating fresh off the vine. Great disease resistance makes this cucumber a pleasure to grow and if given a little care, you could be picking its fruits within 7 to 8 weeks.
Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber Care
To encourage Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber to keep cropping all summer long, it needs to be grown in as much sun as possible. As a tender edible, cucumbers should only be planted outside once all risk of frost has gone and the temperature is above 65 °F. Sweet Burpless likes to be grown in well-drained and fertile soil at a spacing of 3 to 4 feet apart.
Growing Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber
If given enough sun and heat, the Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber can produce fruits ready to harvest in around 55 days. As a bush variety, this cucumber can grow to 3-4 feet tall and benefits from being tied to a trellis for support. This variety is best suited to growing outdoors rather than under glass.
As a bush variety, Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber can be grown in a large container. Choose a container with drainage holes and a minimum size of 18 inches in diameter.
Watering Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber
To continue cropping until the fall, the cucumber plant’s soil needs to be kept consistently moist. Water deeply at the base of the plant to avoid the foliage whenever the top few inches of soil are dry.
Feeding Sweet Burpless Bush Cucumber
To help maintain plant health and to encourage its prolific fruits, a fertilizer can be applied. A liquid, balanced fertilizer can be applied every 10-14 days or as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
