Variety Spotlight: Splash F1 Mini Cucumber
by Paramount Seeds on Jul 18 2026
The Year-Round Mini Cucumber Built for Greenhouse Performance
Splash F1 is Paramount Seeds' top recommendation for heated greenhouse mini cucumber production. Developed by DeRuiter, this high-performance hybrid has earned its place as a grower favourite across all four crop cycles — Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall — thanks to its exceptional fruit quality, strong plant vigor, and broad disease resistance package.
Why Growers Choose Splash F1
- Year-round adaptability: Suitable for all four crop cycles in heated greenhouse environments.
- Excellent taste & crunch: Consistently delivers the flavor and texture profile that retail and foodservice buyers demand.
- Uniform fruit quality: Dark green exterior, consistent sizing, and good shelf life — every harvest.
- Open plant habit: Medium-sized leaves and self-terminating side shoots make canopy management straightforward in both umbrella and high-wire systems.
- Extended crop cycle: Strong vigor at crop end enables growers to push production further, improving return on investment per planting.
- High yield potential: Consistent fruit set throughout the crop cycle supports reliable volume for retail and wholesale programs.
