About Watermelon Seeds - Florida Giant

Citrullus lanatus

Seed Type Heirloom Seed, Open Pollinated Seed
Plant Type Giant

Don't let the name fool you - the Florida Giant Watermelon WILL grow outside of the sunshine state! An abundant producer of generally round watermelons in the 50-pound range. Sweet and juicy red flesh make this watermelon an excellent choice for your garden. Introduced by famed Florida watermelon pioneer Melville Dillon in the 1940's. A perfect crop for summer, Watermelons take their time to mature, but don't rush them--it's all that time in the sun that makes them so sweet and delicious!
