Notes
'Strawberry Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Strawberry Watermelon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them room. Summer blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Salad Bush cucumber, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Giant of Italy parsley.
