Watermelon, Earthly Delights

  • $4.79

Description

Citrullus lanatus

An Idaho-bred watermelon variety! Prolific and early-maturing--a sweet, sweet treat!

An easy-to-grow variety that matures early and ripens 8-12” tasty melons. This variety was born on Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho, where the seeds were saved for over a decade. Originating from Glenn Drowns' nationally renowned Blacktail Mountain Watermelon, the promiscuous flowers cross-pollinated in the field with other watermelons to produce a little more diversity of fruits.
