Planting & Care

Sow Crimson Sweet watermelon seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing them according to the recommended distance. Watermelons require plenty of sunlight and consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulching around plants helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

As vines grow, provide ample space for them to spread. Water deeply once a week, avoiding overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Fruits are typically ready to harvest when the tendril nearest the stem turns brown and the underside of the melon turns creamy yellow. With proper care, Crimson Sweet watermelons can be a rewarding addition to any home garden.
