Tendersweet Orange Watermelon truly lives up to its name, producing beautiful oblong fruits with vibrant orange flesh that is both stunning and remarkably delicious. Far from just a novelty, this heirloom variety holds its own in flavor against traditional watermelons, making it a highly recommended choice for discerning gardeners seeking something beyond conventional red varieties. Thriving in warm weather and sandy soils, Tendersweet Orange requires ample space for its trailing vines—typically 8 to 10 feet per plant—and plenty of summer sun to develop its signature sweetness and full color expression. Individual fruits typically weigh 8 to 12 pounds at maturity, offering substantial yields from a compact garden footprint. These Non-GMO seeds boast a germination rate of 80% or higher and mature in approximately 90 days from transplant, allowing gardeners in most regions to harvest before the first frost. Consistent watering and well-draining soil rich in organic matter support vigorous vine growth and fruit development. Packaged sustainably in reusable, recyclable materials, these seeds support environmentally responsible gardening while delivering a flavorful, visually striking harvest that stands out at the table.
