Notes
'Sureness' melon (Citrullus lanatus 'Sureness') is a vegetable for food gardens 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 have a prostrate habit, so give them room to sprawl. Bees visit the flowers, and the fruit is ready in 75 days.
Pairs well with Snow Leopard melon, Teddy dill, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
