It would be a mistake not to try the delicious and popular Citrullus lanatus 'Crimson Sweet' Watermelon. This heirloom variety has been around for decades and was even an All American winner in 1964! The oval to round fruits of 20-25 lbs mature in just 85 days and contain red, sweet flesh and small seeds. This ANNUAL plant is hardy to zone 9, prefers well-drained soil, and can even tolerate drought. The beautiful, vine-like plant bears monoecious flowers that are pollinated by insects. It's the perfect addition to your garden for a valuable source of hydration and nutrition during hot summer months. Don't miss out on the chance to grow one of the world's most popular watermelons!
