Watermelon Golden Honey Seeds
$4.20
Unit price perCitrullus lanatus
Golden Honey is a rare heirloom watermelon producing large fruits with light green skin patterned with darker green stripes. Inside, the flesh ripens to a striking golden yellow and is exceptionally sweet, juicy and refreshing.
Fruits can reach approximately 15 kg and contain relatively few large seeds, leaving plenty of crisp, succulent flesh. Its unusual colour makes Golden Honey particularly impressive served fresh, chilled in wedges or added to summer fruit salads.
Plants develop vigorous, spreading vines and require plenty of warmth, sun and room to grow. Consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development encourages good-sized, evenly developed melons.
Seed count: approximately 10–20 seeds per gram. Approximately 20 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April–August

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 1–2 cm deep directly where plants are to grow once the soil has warmed, or start indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after frost. Space plants approximately 80–120 cm apart, allowing plenty of room for vines to spread.
Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep plants consistently watered during establishment, flowering and fruit development. Fruit is approaching maturity when the tendril nearest the fruit dries and browns and the underside changes from white to creamy yellow.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
