Notes
'Black Beauty Mini Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Black Beauty Mini Watermelon') is a vegetable for the food garden and the border. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is a hybrid vine with a moderate growth rate. Bees visit the flowers, and the fruit is ready in about 80 days.
Pairs well with Striped Armenian cucumber, Blue Beech tomato, and Teddy dill.
