Descriptions

'Sugar Baby' Watermelon Seeds

Not a fruit which is normally associated with British gardens, but given an early start and plenty of care, you can enjoy the delicious fresh taste of your very own water melons.

'Sugar Baby' produces small sweet watermelons of about 20cm in diameter averaging 4kg in weight. The skin turns almost black when ripe with a sweet red flesh within. The plants have a trailing habit so need a lot of room or training around and within pots.
