Know before you buy
This variety is quite fast-growing, reaching maturity in just 50 days from planting. You can expect early and continuous harvests throughout the season.
For the best pickling results, harvest the fruit when they reach approximately 4 ¼ inches in length. Picking them at this size ensures the signature crisp texture and sweet flavor.
Regal cucumbers thrive in full sun and require fertile, well-drained soil. Ensure your soil temperature is between 65–90°F for optimal germination.
The Regal hybrid is bred for vigor and offers good resistance to common cucumber diseases. This makes them a reliable choice for home gardeners looking for a consistent yield.
Plant your seeds at a depth of ½ inch. We recommend spacing them 4–6 seeds per hill to ensure healthy growth and proper air circulation for the long vines.
Because Regal is a hybrid variety, the seeds will not reliably produce the same characteristics if saved and replanted. It is best to purchase fresh seeds each season to ensure the same quality and disease resistance.
