Notes
'Orange SilverWave F1' melon (Cucumis melo 'Orange SilverWave F1') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage garden beds. 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. Flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. The vine grows at a moderate pace, so give it a trellis or support to climb.
Pairs well with Persian basil, Royal Hybrid 1121 Sunflower sunflower, and Fernleaf dill.
