Notes
Mango Melon melon (Cucumis melo 'Mango (Vine Peach) Melon') is a vegetable for the food garden and containers. 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 or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees. The vines can climb past 71 inches, so give them a trellis.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
