Rockmelon Indian Cream Cobra Melon Seeds
$4.20
Unit price perCucumis melo
Indian Cream Cobra is an unusual heirloom Melon producing distinctive fruits with pale flesh and a characteristically drier texture than conventional rockmelons. The flavour is mild and gently sweet, and the flesh can be drizzled with honey for a richer dessert.
The fruit naturally splits when fully ripe, providing a useful indication that it is ready to harvest. Watch developing melons closely as maturity approaches and pick promptly once splitting begins.
Originating from India, this variety represents one of the many diverse melon forms cultivated across the Indian subcontinent, where Cucumis melo has been grown and selected for centuries. Its unusual texture and ripening habit make it an interesting addition to an heirloom melon collection.
