Rijk Zwaan’s Blue Leaf™ is a natural trait, bred into our range of cucumbers. Blue Leaf™ varieties have dark, blue-green foliage and contain more chlorophyll than other varieties. Dark leaves enable higher degrees of light absorption, which converts into more growth and fruiting – especially helpful in the cooler seasons.
