Growing Information
Growing Crimson Sweet Watermelon
Perhaps our best all-purpose melon: extremely sweet, perfect flesh and good disease resistance. Consistently large fruits with a blocky, round shape and a thin but tough rind that’s light green with dark stripes. String-free flesh is finely textured, juicy, firm, bright red and remarkably sweet. Only a few very small seeds. Good for northern climates.
Know to grow — When sowing, place the pointed end of the seed down.
