Notes
'Charleston Gray Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Charleston Gray Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Its vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give it plenty of room. Yellow summer flowers bloom from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Marketer cucumber, Moss Curled parsley, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
