30 Crimson Watermelon Seeds Citrullus lanatus Heirloom Sweet Red Flesh

Crimson Watermelon is a classic heirloom variety known for its deep red, sweet, juicy flesh and strong, vigorous vines. These seeds produce large, round to oval fruits with dark green rinds and thin, lighter green stripes, making them a rewarding choice for home gardens and market growers alike.
Crimson Watermelon is prized for its exceptionally sweet, crisp flesh that is perfect for fresh eating, fruit salads, and refreshing summer beverages. The vines are productive and spread widely, so provide ample space or a sturdy trellis for vertical growth. Harvest when the underside of the fruit turns creamy yellow and the tendril nearest the stem dries and browns.
