Sugar Baby watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is the standard icebox or picnic watermelon. Productive, compact vines allow gardeners to save space. Round 6-10 pound watermelons have a very sweet flesh and dull green rind. Seed packet contains 2 G (about 50 seeds).

This variety, and all other watermelons love heat, the hotter the better. If you live in a cooler climate, start seeds indoors early and transplant to the hottest spot in your yard. True to their name, the red flesh of these giant melons is sweet and refreshing. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors
