Notes

'Ha'Ogen Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Ha'Ogen Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Fragrant flowers open from early to late summer. They draw butterflies and bees to the garden.

Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
