Notes
'Century Star' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Century Star') is a vegetable for a food garden or a container. 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. The vines trail along the ground, so give them room to spread. Bees visit the summer blooms.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Bloody Butcher corn, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
