These finest quality, non-GMO, organic Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds produce striped, nearly round, 15-25 pound melons with sweet, crisp, crimson flesh and small seeds perfect for juicy summer treats. Each 3 Gram packet contains approximately 15 premium, non-GMO, heirloom, organic watermelon seeds.
Direct-sow in loamy, rich soil in late spring or early summer, after the threat of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/2" deep in raised hills 3-4' apart. Leave 5-6' between rows. Warm season watermelons do best in full sun, in a temperature range of 70-95° F. Hot summer conditions will sweeten the melons; but plants will need to be watered regularly until they go to fruit. Handle plants with care, as their vines are tender. Harvest ripe watermelons, after 80-90 days, by cutting the stem near the base of the fruit with gardening shears.
Looking for an Earlier Harvest? Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date and transplant seedlings to a sunny location, with light, porous soil, after the soil warms to about 60° F.
