Description
The flowers of wild cucumber smell wonderful (at least to me), and the fruit is ornamental. Some people train the vines over a fence or pergola. Illinois Wildflowers states that the wild cucumber flowers are visited by several species of bees, flies and wasps. While fast growing – the vines can reach 30 feet in a season – the vines are native to North America. They are not an invasive species in the U.S. and Canada.
