Notes
'Saniara' watermelon (Citrullus lanatus 'Saniara') is a vegetable for the food garden and containers. 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 soil. The vines trail along the ground and need room to spread. Fruit is ready about 82 days after planting, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Clementine tomato, Tasty Green cucumber, and Dukat dill.
