The ancestral Citrullus lanatus, the plant that gave rise to the modern watermelon but with a vigor and drought tolerance beyond most. Plants can develop vines that scramble for dozens of feet, with the classic split and wavy-lobed leaves and fruits that can reach over 8 inches across and sometimes weigh more than 5 pounds. Typically the fruits ripen at the first frost and are left to cure until mid winter, and when opened will be pale yellow-cream with light to dark red seeds. Not particularly sweet, instead their high pectin content lends to making jams, candied pieces, or to thicken other desserts.

Packets will contain approx. 10 seeds each.
