Notes
'Stone Mountain Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Stone Mountain Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Terenzo F1 tomato, Fernleaf dill, and Truchas lettuce.
