Notes
'Onza' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Onza') 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. Onza is grown for its watermelon fruit, which matures in 87 days. The vines trail along the ground, so give them room to spread.
Pairs well with Citrine tomato, Persian basil, and Moss Curled parsley.
