Cream of Saskatchewan Watermelon, Heirloom Seeds

Cream of Saskatchewan Watermelon, Heirloom Seeds — The Russian Immigrant Heirloom With Creamy Yellow-White Flesh Built for Northern Climates

Cream of Saskatchewan (Citrullus lanatus) was brought to the Canadian prairies by Russian immigrants and has thrived in cool northern climates ever since. Round, pale green-striped melons reach 4–10 pounds with creamy, yellowish-white flesh and an old-fashioned sweet flavor that is rare and distinctive. Thin rind requires careful handling — best enjoyed fresh. Ripens in August even in short-season gardens. 80–85 days.
