Notes

'Kaho Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Kaho Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 soil. The vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms in early to late summer.

Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Navy bean, and Kent Beauty oregano.
