Notes
'Petit Gris de Rennes Melon' (Cucumis melo 'Petit Gris de Rennes Melon') is a vegetable for the food garden, 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. The fragrant summer blooms, which open from early to late summer, attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
