Sweet & Hardy Melons - Seed kit

Most melon plant varieties need warmer climates to mature and, consequently, the real, ripe fruits are rarely available for purchase here. The good news is that there are a few melon varieties that grow well in moderate central European and northern climates and can be cultivated in domestic gardens.

For this seed kit, we, therefore, hand selected 4 robust melon varieties:

• Cantaloupe Melon 'Charentais' (Cucumis Melo)
  'Charentais' is a small-sized, smooth-skinned melon variety with a lovely light and dark green striped pattern. The flesh is of apricot-orange colour and tastes absolutely delicious.
• Watermelon 'Crimson Sweet' (Citrullus lanatus)
  One of the most robust, open-pollinated watermelon varieties with relatively small fruits. The traditional variety from the US comes along easy with different climatic conditions.
• Melon 'Blenheim Orange' (Cucumis Melo)
  'Blenheim Orange' is a robust honeydew melon variety with large, oblong crops with orange flesh, which can weigh up to 1 kg.
• Watermelon 'Cream of Saskatchewan' (Citrullus Lanatus)
  'Cream of Saskatchewan' is an old, robust Russian watermelon variety, with mild tasting white fruit flesh which thrives well in northern climates.

One seed sachet per melon variety.
