They have a crisp texture with a flavor that combines cucumber and lime, making them a unique addition to salads, pickles, or as a snack. - Cultivation: They require full sun and well-drained soil, with regular watering. Cucamelons are relatively easy to grow, making them suitable for home gardens, and they benefit from companion planting with corn or beans. - Quality: All Cucamelon seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture. - Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored. - Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.5" wide by 5" tall. - Promise: Seed Needs will never knowingly supply GMO based seed products. The vast majority of our seeds are open pollinated & heirloom, with the exception of a few hybrids. - Germination: Seed Needs packets contain some of the freshest seed available. Direct from the growers. If sown correctly, you will begin seeing results in only a matter of days. - Freshness: All Cucamelon seeds are packaged in tear resistant and moisture resistant packaging. This keeps the seeds a whole lot fresher than the competitions selection! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C6HCWGZJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,055 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #17 in Vegetable Plants & Seeds | | Brand | Seed Needs | | Brand Name | Seed Needs | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 3,108 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | No Blooms | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Item Type Name | Cucamelon Seeds | | Manufacturer | Seed Needs | | Material Feature | GMO Free, Heirloom | | Material Features | GMO Free, Heirloom | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 30 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Exotic Fruits, Heirloom, Non-GMO, Untreated Seed | | Plant or Animal Product Type | cucamelon/mexican | | Product Care Instructions | Sowing info included on every seed packet. | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Special Feature | Exotic Fruits, Heirloom, Non-GMO, Untreated Seed | | Style Name | Cucamelon | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | USDA Hardiness Zone | Suitable for all zones | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Plant or Animal Product Type:** cucamelon/mexican - **Brand:** Seed Needs - **Material Feature:** GMO Free, Heirloom - **Color:** Green - **Special Feature:** heirloom - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count - **Product Care Instructions:** water - **Soil Type:** Sandy Soil - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering ## Images ![Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gjmXYrUWL.jpg) ![Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZgBDp-URL.jpg) ![Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ChCLEB7rL.jpg) ![Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rT8EGDYcL.jpg) ![Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91F51z5j-oL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***N on April 29, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***N on March 27, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Z on April 25, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Seed Needs Cucamelon Seeds for Planting Mexican Sour Gherkin Miniature Mouse Melons - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Indoor Outdoor Vegetable Garden (1 Pack) - Sow Right Seeds - Ground Cherries Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant an Outdoor Home Vegetable Garden - Mexican Husk Tomato - Endangered Variety (1) - Earthcare Seeds Ground Cherry Aunt Molly's 50 Seeds (Physalis pruinosa) Heirloom - Open Pollinated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/532180764-seed-needs-cucamelon-seeds-for-planting-mexican-sour-gherkin-miniature](https://www.desertcart.us/products/532180764-seed-needs-cucamelon-seeds-for-planting-mexican-sour-gherkin-miniature) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
