Notes
'Golden Honeymoon Melon' (Cucumis melo 'Golden Honeymoon Melon') is a vegetable grown for your food garden and containers. 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 or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the fragrant flowers draw butterflies and bees. The vines grow tall, so give them room or a support.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
