Notes
'Golden Crispy Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Golden Crispy Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Plants can reach 71 to 122 inches tall, so give them a sturdy support.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
