Notes
'Katanya Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Katanya Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. The vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Butterflies and bees visit the summer blooms.
Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Navy bean, and Kent Beauty oregano.
