Notes
'Oliver's Pearl Cluster Melon' (Cucumis melo 'Oliver's Pearl Cluster Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 or clay soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees. The vines grow tall, so give them a sturdy support.
Pairs well with Winter squash, Borage, Nasturtium, and African marigold.
