Citrullus lanatus
Introducing an exceptionally sweet, Idaho-bred watermelon—so juicy!
Bred by Urban Horticulture Specialist Dr Stephen Love in Aberdeen, Idaho. He collected seeds from cold-germinating watermelon varieties from around the world, then began the breeding project, resulting in quality fruit under marginal temperatures. Fruit size varies, including some 25 pounders! Great flavor and texture—super sweet & juicy!
Seeds grown by Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho.
25 seeds.
Directions: Start indoors in pots 4-5 weeks before last frost and transplant outside after. Or direct seed after last frost. Harden for a week before transplanting, and water thoroughly after. Ripe melons slip from the vine when tugged.
