Our Sugar Baby Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seedlings are a compact and reliable variety, perfect for smaller gardens while still delivering the classic sweet, juicy flavour of larger melons. Known for their early maturity, these self-pollinating plants produce round, dark green fruits averaging 2–4 kg, with bright red flesh that is crisp, refreshing, and full of natural sweetness. Their compact growth habit makes them well-suited for home growers, while still maintaining strong vigour and consistent fruiting.
🌱 SEEDLING HEIGHT | 15cm–20cm including the root system
📏 SPACING | Rows: 1.5–2m apart | Plants: 80–100cm apart
🥗 HARVEST | 12–14 weeks, depending on location & weather conditions
🌡️ CONDITIONS | Full sun, wind protected, free-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Keep soil evenly moist during flowering and fruit set, but reduce watering as fruits mature to concentrate sweetness. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
