Description
Sugar Baby Watermelon Seeds 2415. Open Pollinated.
Approx. 60 seeds/pkt (9-10 seeds/gram)
A dependable variety that produces round, sweet watermelons about 20 cm in diameter and weighing roughly 4-5 kg. The flesh is crisp, red, sweet and juicy with very few seeds. The thin hard skin turns dark red when fully ripe.
How to Grow
Very similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon. Seeds require 5-10 days at a soil temperature of 24° C to germinate – any lower and germination will be inhibited. Sow 6-8 seeds per hill, 12 mm deep in hills spaced 1.8- 2.4 m from each other. Thin to 3-4 plants per hill. Never let the plants lack for water. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.
