Watermelon Crimson Sweet is a classic variety known for its sweet, juicy, and refreshing flesh. With a deep red interior and a crisp, green rind, it is perfect for summer picnics and fruit salads. This variety thrives in warm, sunny conditions and well-drained, fertile soil. It is much more round than the ‘all sweet’ variety
Planting season: Late spring to early summer
Germination time: 7–10 days

Growing instructions:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, when the soil is warm (around 21–29°C). Space seeds 2–3 cm apart and thin to 90 cm between plants once they are established. Watermelon plants need consistent moisture, especially during fruit development. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer and provide plenty of sunlight for optimal growth. Harvest when the rind sounds hollow when tapped and the fruit is fully mature.
