Notes
'Tigger Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Tigger Melon') is a vegetable for a food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees. The vines climb tall, so give them a trellis or plenty of room.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
