Aegeas
Aegeas is a passive greenhouse cucumber hybrid renowned for its production of long, dark green fruits of good quality, featuring intense ribbing. This is an early variety with high yield potential and is widely adapted, offering a long planting window. Aegeas is perfectly suited for South African summers due to its high heat tolerance and strong powdery mildew resistance
