Notes
'Texas Golden Watermelon' (Citrullus lanatus 'Texas Golden 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 long vines spread about 59 to 122 inches, so give them plenty of room. Yellow summer flowers draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Estiva tomato, Giant of Italy parsley, and Fernleaf dill.
