About Watermelon Seeds (Organic) - Tendersweet Orange

Citrullus lanatus

Seed Type Heirloom Seed, Open Pollinated Seed, Organic Seed

It's name doesn't lie. Tendersweet Orange Watermelons produce lovely oblong fruit with stunningly beautiful and incredibly delicious orange flesh. But Tendersweet Orange is more than a novelty; in our opinion we feel it can hold its own in a taste test with any more conventional watermelon. We highly recommend this one! Watermelons grow best in warm weather and sandy soils. Make sure their trailing vines have plenty of space and let your melons enjoy the warm summer sun for delicious, sweet harvests!
