I had trouble finding detailed growing info and photos of these through Google, but from what I can tell they are not parthenocarpic so you do need male flowers to pollenate with. Unfortunately I have never grown this variety so not sure, hopefully someone else has better info  |

However, Sher's recent post in the forum's Vegetables section includes a link to a helpful Aerogarden Experiments video on You Tube that discusses growing cucumbers that have male and female flowers. Nice photos!  |
