Notes
'Moon and Stars Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Moon and Stars Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The long vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them room. Yellow summer blooms draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Armenian cucumber, Ancho pepper, and Kent Beauty oregano.
