Introducing the delicious and productive Hearts of Gold cantaloupe - an heirloom variety developed by Roland Morrill in 1895. This medium-sized melon produces 3-4 lb. heavily netted fruit with a salmon-orange flesh that is firm and sweet. It's a vigorous grower that can be harvested in just 90 days from seed, making it perfect for those who can't wait to enjoy fresh melons from their garden. This annual climber, which grows up to 5ft, prefers to be grown in full sun and requires well-drained soil. It's also frost-tender and hardy to zone 10. Plant in sandy, loamy or clay soil and keep it moist. Hearts of Gold is a self-fertile plant, and its flowers are pollinated by insects.
