General Information: Exceptional garden performance from Spring through Summer. Works great in the ground and in containers.
Notable for big vigor and excellent garden performance, our most vigorous line is ideal for 12-in. (30-cm) and larger containers and baskets, as well as landscapes. The series will finish 10 to 12 weeks from stick, depending on region. Mounds of color hold up in the heat and rain. These varieties have nicely matched habits, making production planning easier.
The most compact genetic in the series. Cold night temperatures in trial locations like California and West Chicago make the genetic more compact. Watermelon Red is just as vigorous as Blue when grown under warm night and day conditions at trial locations in Texas, Florida and North Carolina.
