Notes
'White Lanzhou Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'White Lanzhou Melon') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. Give it full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. The vines climb to about 71 to 122 inches tall, so give them a sturdy support. Fragrant summer flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
