Notes
'Mini Love' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Mini Love') is a vegetable for food gardens 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 soil. The vines trail along the ground, so give them room to spread. Fruit is ready about 70 days after planting, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Sugar Cube melon, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Celebrity Plus tomato.
