Notes
'Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon') is a vegetable for a food garden. 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 soil. The vines spread 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Its summer flowers attract butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Peione parsley.
