Melon Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The sweet summer fruit worth a spot in your garden

Melons (Cucumis melo) are warm-season vining fruits grown for their sweet, perfumed flesh and refreshing juice. The group includes honeydew, canary, muskmelon, and many aromatic heirlooms, ranging from pale green to deep orange inside. Each vine spreads with lobed leaves and small yellow flowers before setting fruit that swells and sweetens in the summer heat, filling the garden with fragrance as it ripens.

How to grow melons from seed

Melons thrive on warmth and sun. Sow melon seeds about half an inch to an inch deep in full sun after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is thoroughly warm, spacing plants roughly 2 to 3 feet apart. Most varieties need about 75 to 90 days of heat to ripen, so give them the sunniest, warmest spot you have and steady moisture until the fruit begins to mature. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing melons from seed.

How to use melons

Ripe melon is best enjoyed simply chilled and sliced, letting its natural sweetness shine. Cube it into fruit salads, blend it into cooling smoothies and agua fresca, or pair it with prosciutto, mint, and a squeeze of lime for a classic summer plate. Melon balls are lovely frozen for a refreshing snack, and the fruit adds a fragrant note to sorbets and chilled soups.

Melons and their cucurbit cousins

If you love growing melons, their cucurbit relatives are a natural fit for the same warm bed. Try watermelon for classic sweet summer slices, cantaloupe for fragrant orange-fleshed fruit, or cucumbers for crisp fruit on the same kind of vine. You can explore the full range in our vegetable seeds collection.
