Notes
'Halona' melon (Cucumis melo 'Halona') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 or clay soil. It climbs as it grows, so you can train it up a support. The fruit matures in 73 days, and the summer flowers attract bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, China Rose Radish, and Mountain Fresh Plus tomato.
