Notes
'Jubilee Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Jubilee Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It spreads about 59 to 122 inches, so give it room. Blooms from early to late summer attract bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Salad Bush cucumber, Berkeley Tie-Dye Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
