Melothria Cucumber (cocktail)

The Mouse Melon is a very original climbing plant, producing tiny fruits the size of a quail's egg. It is also called "cocktail cucumber" or "mini-watermelon" for its decorative marbling. Its taste is fresh, with a surprising hint of acidity.

Benefits for wildlife Its vining growth creates a dense green curtain that provides valuable shelter for beneficial insects. Its countless tiny flowers are a constant resource for urban micro-pollinators.
