Cucumis Melo
A deliciously sweet and aromatic hybrid variety. Very fast growing and will perform well in a range of climates, including cooler regions. The mid-sized fruits are delicious in fruit salads and smoothies or eaten fresh from the patch. Ideal for small gardens as the vines can be trained onto a vertical trellis to save space.
Approx. 15 seeds

If training vertically onto wires limit the growth to the size of the frame by pruning the tip and side shoots as necessary. |
