Sugar Baby Watermelon

Compact Vines, Consistent Yields

Sugar Baby Watermelon saves space in the garden and in the refrigerator. The only thing oversized is the flavor--rich and incredibly sweet. Compact vines produce plenty of 6- to 10-pound fruits packed with sweet red-orange flesh. Dependably productive, resistant to drought and disease. 85 DAYS.

Who needs dessert when you’ve got this incredibly sweet and juicy treat? Even small-space gardeners can grow compact varieties.

THE BEST WATERMELON EVER!
Reviewed By: Danny Grogg (Aloha, Oregon)
Before my Grandma died she was always telling me, "If you want to grow a watermelon here in NW Oregon, try to grow a Sugar Baby!" and that is exactly what I did. And once again, Grandma was right. It grew very vigorous and produced 6 to 7 7 Pound fruits. This watermelon I Highly recommend!
