Notes
'Boule d'Or Melon' (Cucumis melo 'Boule d'Or Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract butterflies and bees. Give the long vines room to spread or train them upward.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
