Botanical Interests Seeds, Watermelon, Charleston Gray 2 G

Citrullus lanatus. Warm season. 85-100 days. Sow after last chance of spring frost. Heirloom. This melon's bright red, sweet, crisp interior gives you a feeling of delight with every bite. A favorite since 1954. It's worth the wait for these large, juicy fruits that average 22-26 inches long and 25 to 35 pounds. You'll have lots of thick slices for those late summer barbecues and picnics! This open-pollinated melon, developed by renowned watermelon breeder Charles Andrus of the USDA lab in Charleston, SC, was the first to be resistant to both fusarium wilt and anthracnose disease. Greenish-gray rind protects melon from sunburn. It is still affectionately called that gray melon from Charleston. This packet sows 12 mounds. All our seeds are untreated.
