Yellow Gem (Citrullus lanatus) is a heat-tolerant heirloom icebox watermelon producing 14–16-pound oval fruits with a medium rind and large dark stripes. The flesh is bright yellow, crisp, and very sweet — a striking and delicious alternative to red-fleshed varieties. 80 days.
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed into warm soil in full sun. Give vines plenty of room to run. Water consistently. Harvest when the belly turns yellow and the tendril nearest the fruit dries.

Seller is pleasant and shipment was swiftly excited to plant and see the outcome ty
Thank you very much! they look great and arrived in good condition!
The seeds arrived around the estimated time of arrival. They were well packaged and looked good. I planted a few 3 days ago and I've already got sprouts.
I hope these flowers will grow in North Dakota! The colors are vibrant and hopefully the bees will like them. I will have to wait until after the Big Thaw in April before I can plant them - can't wait!
