Product Description
Hmong Red The fruits are white to pale green, turning orange-red as they ripen. A very productive and tasty variety that stays mild even when large. This heirloom was collected from a Hmong (Meo) immigrant. Millions of the Hmong tribe live on the borders of Thailand, China, Burma, Laos and Vietnam and are a very ancient people.

 Lousy Germination March 31, 2008
Julie (Creston, BC, Canada)

My children and I ordered a selection of really fun seeds from you. (Hmong Red Cucumber
Black Sea Man Tomato, Rare Tigger Melon, Mexican Miniature Watermelon, Toga Striped Eggplant, Purple Cauliflower, Unwins Exhibiton 7 Pound Onion, Rare Red Bull Brussels Sprout)
My germination rate has been about 25% or less. All my other seeds from other companies are doing wonderful on my tables, but my Hirt's seeds are in a category of their own, small, stunted, wimpy, or not at all. I will not be ordering from you again, and I'm sorry I wasted my money.
 Heirloom Hmong Red is Golden Orange April 25, 2007
Southern Review (USA)

The photographic depiction is a bit misleading as the fruits are white to pale green, turning golden-orange as they ripen. A very productive and pleasantly flavored cultivar that stays mild even when large. The fruit seems to appear out of nowhere from spaces that seemed empty the previous day; providing a continuous source of enjoyment and garden amazement.
The heirloom seed I purchased (not from this vendor) was collected from a Hmong (Meo) immigrant and is also available from large, widely respected seed vendors. Millions of the Hmong tribe live on the borders of Thailand, China, Burma, Laos and Vietnam and are a very ancient people.
This cultivar is a garden novelty for those fortunate to have the space required for a large selection of heirloom vegetables. It would not be my first selection, or recommendation for those limited by their space to only one Cucumis sativus.
