Growing Information

Growing Tendersweet Orange Heirloom Watermelon

‘Tendersweet Orange’ is an heirloom watermelon prized for its brilliant orange flesh and exceptional sweetness. Large oblong fruits commonly reach 30 to 35 pounds and contain juicy, high-sugar flesh beneath a relatively thin rind.

Start ‘Tendersweet Orange’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, space plants 36 to 48 inches apart, and grow in full sun. For best sowing, orient each seed with the pointed end facing down. This heat-tolerant variety needs plenty of room for its vigorous vines.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and the vivid orange flesh has developed peak flavor.

Juicy, colorful, and extra sweet, ‘Tendersweet Orange’ is excellent for fresh eating.
