Notes:
Please Note: Seedless watermelons are less vigorous than normal watermelons. They require starting indoors under specific temperature and moisture ranges to ensure proper germination. They require a pollinator watermelon (seeds are included with each order) in order to set fruits. Complete growing instructions are also included with each order.
