Notes

'Sugar Baby Bush Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Sugar Baby Bush Watermelon') is a vegetable grown for your food garden, borders, 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. It blooms from early to late summer, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Delicata squash, Purple Ruffles basil, and Button flower.
