Notes
'Graystone' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Graystone') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The vine grows low along the ground, so give it plenty of room to spread. Bees visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Bloody Butcher corn, Black Prince tomato, and Fern Leaf dill.
