Notes

'Kajari Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Kajari 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. It is grown for fresh eating. The vines bloom from early to late summer, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees.

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