Tendersweet watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) grows large, 35-pound watermelons with thick striped dark green rinds. The brightly colored orange flesh is lovely and delicious, with a tender texture and exceptional sweetness. Seed packet contains 2 G (about 30 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 orange flesh of these giant melons is sweet and refreshing. Large, premium seed packets give instructions on how to grow and when to plant outdoors
