Organic Sugar Baby Watermelon Seeds - Citrullus lanatus

Organic Open-Pollinated Non-GMO Sugar Baby Watermelon Seeds

This organic sweet icebox watermelon, has stunning deep red flesh with an ideal personal size of 6” - 8.5” in diameter, with an almost black exterior!  Produces early fruit, about 6 - 12 lbs each, with 1 -2 fruit per plant under good growing conditions.

The Sugar Baby is juicy and sweet with an excellent taste profile, making it a favorite for fresh summer eating!  Its petite size and compact vines, make it perfect in smaller gardens, raised beds, and growers with limited space, while still delivering full-sized watermelon flavor. The variety’s slightly rough, durable rind helps protect the fruit from cracking and makes it well suited for reliable harvests

Sugar Baby thrives in warm, sunny conditions with rich, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture during early growth supports strong vine development and good fruit set.

We recommend planting at a 1/2” depth and space plants 12” - 18” apart, allowing the vines room to spread and the fruit to develop fully.  Fruit is ripe when you hear a hollow thump in it.  Use a sharp knife to cut from vine and the underside resting on the soil turns from pale green to creamy yellow.

Use a sharp knife or pruners to cut the fruit from the vine when ripe.
