Notes
'Faerie F1' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Faerie F1') is a vegetable for the food garden and the border. 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. The vines grow low along the ground and attract bees.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Bloody Butcher corn, and Teddy dill.
