Cal Sweet Bush (Citrullus lanatus) is the patio gardener’s watermelon — a compact plant staying within 14–18 inches, perfect for container gardening. Produces 2–3 impressive melons weighing 10–12 pounds each, rivaling larger varieties in flavor. Juicy, sweet red flesh with classic watermelon taste. 90 days.
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed into warm soil in full sun. Space plants 2–3 feet apart. Water consistently. Harvest when the belly turns yellow and the tendril nearest the fruit dries.
