Notes
'Jenny Lind Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Jenny Lind Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 or clay soil. Its flowers appear from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees. The vines can stretch long, so give them room to run.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
