Notes
'Metki Dark Green Serpent Cucumber' melon (Cucumis melo 'Metki Dark Green Serpent Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers attract bees and butterflies. The vines can climb past 100 inches, so give them a trellis or plenty of room.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, Oregano, and African marigold.
