Watermelon Seeds

Standard Watermelon Varieties

Standard varieties have seed and are diploid. Sow seeds directly into packs, peat pots or directly in the field. 3-4 lbs. per acre. Well drained soil is best, plants need adequate water from seeding until they start blooming.

Seedless Watermelon Varieties

Seedless varieties are triploid. They should be started in the greenhouse and transplanted when soil temperature in the field are 65ºF. Seedless watermelons need a pollinator variety planted with them.

Seedless watermelons require special attention. They must be started indoors. Start at the same time as your pollinator variety (packet of sugar baby gratis with your order).
