About (From this Label)

The Moon and Stars Watermelon is a unique heirloom variety with a dark green rind and yellow spots. Typically weighing 10-15 pounds, it can grow up to 40 pounds.

This vining annual thrives in full sun and loamy soil with a neutral pH, requiring regular watering. Harvest when fully ripe for the best taste, making it a beautiful addition to any summer garden.
