Notes
'Mambo F1' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Mambo F1') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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 are prostrate, so give them room to sprawl. Bees visit the flowers in summer.
Pairs well with Radish organic, Fern Leaf dill, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
