    Salad Bush cucumbers do exceptionally well in pots. All cucumbers are vines. Even the bush-variety vine. It is just that the vines on Salad Bush are very short and squat, so they only need a small trellis or you can let them grow over the edges of your pot. Makes excellent dark-green slicing cucumbers about 8 inches long.
