Notes
'Orangeglo Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Orangeglo Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, 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 bloom in early to late summer, and the flowers attract butterflies and bees. Give the long vines plenty of room to spread.
Pairs well with Salad Bush cucumber, Berkeley Tie-Dye Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
