The Living Seed Company Moon and Stars Watermelon Seeds

Moon and Stars watermelons are vigorous growers with vines that reach 6 to 8 feet in length. You should provide plenty of room for them to spread, ideally in a garden bed where they have at least 10 square feet per plant.

Because these vines are quite large and the fruit can weigh up to 40 pounds, they are generally not recommended for standard container gardening. They perform best when planted directly in the ground where the vines can sprawl and the heavy fruit can rest on the soil.

This variety typically takes between 85 and 100 days to reach maturity. Since they are heat-loving plants, ensure they are planted after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.

Open-pollinated means that if you allow the fruit to fully mature and save the seeds, the resulting plants will grow true to the parent variety. This allows you to harvest and replant seeds from your own garden year after year.

Yes, they require full sun exposure to thrive and develop their signature sweetness. Aim for at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure the plants have enough energy to produce large, healthy fruit.
