Notes
'Orange Crisp' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Orange Crisp') is a vegetable grown for the food garden and for 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 have a prostrate habit, so give them room to spread. Fruit matures in 87 days, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Cantaloupe, Berkeley Tie-Dye Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
