Notes
'Natsu Cocoa' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Natsu Cocoa') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 soil. The vines trail along the ground, so give them room to spread. Fruit is ready in 65 days, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Homemade Pickles cucumber, Persian basil, and Citrine tomato.
