Skip the oversized, flavorless melons from the grocery store and grow the variety that set the standard for sweetness. The Crimson Sweet is a legendary heirloom, famous for its high sugar content and beautiful striped appearance. Reliable and high-yielding, it is the perfect centerpiece for any summer garden.
Why Choose Crimson Sweet?
Unbeatable Sweetness: Crimson Sweet is celebrated for its deep red, crisp flesh and high Brix (sugar) rating. Every bite delivers a concentrated burst of classic watermelon flavor.
Disease Resistant: This variety is naturally resistant to Fusarium Wilt and Anthracnose, making it one of the easiest and most reliable watermelons for home gardeners to grow successfully.
Large, Uniform Fruit: Expect impressive 20–25 lb melons with a tough, light-green rind and dark-green stripes that protect the fruit from sunburn and bruising.
The Perfect Picnic Melon: Its firm texture makes it easy to slice and cube without falling apart, making it the top choice for fruit salads, barbecues, and fresh snacking.
Choose Your Harvest Size
3.2g Sampler: Perfect for the casual gardener. Provides enough seed to start a small patch and enjoy several large melons throughout the season.
1oz Pouch: Designed for larger family gardens. Ensures plenty of fruit for summer parties, neighborhood sharing, and consistent snacking.
1lb Bulk Bag: The best value for market growers, community gardens, or those with plenty of space who want to harvest by the truckload.
Growing & Harvest Tips
Sun & Space: Watermelons love heat. Plant in full sun and provide plenty of room for the vines to spread and thrive.
Maturity Time: Expect your first harvest in approximately 80–85 days.
When to Pick: Look for the "ground spot" (the part of the melon touching the soil) to turn from white to a creamy yellow. This, combined with a dried-up curly vine tendril nearby, signals peak ripeness.
Beyond the Slice: While perfect on its own, Crimson Sweet is excellent for fresh juice, frozen fruit pops, or even pickling the rinds for a traditional tangy treat.
