Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Organic Red Moon And Stars Watermelon Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

The oval rind of this unique open-pollinated watermelon variety is speckled with yellow. The large spots resemble the moon, and the smaller spots look like a star-studded sky! It grows up to 35 pounds, and the flesh is bright red and sweet. This heirloom watermelon takes 100 days to grow and keeps well in storage. A stunning heirloom, Moon & Stars watermelon was first offered in 1926 by Peter Henderson & Company as "Sun, Moon, and Stars." It disappeared from the public eye until being rediscovered in 1987 at Merle Van Doren's farm in Macon, Missouri. These melons get their name from the small yellow "stars" and large yellow "moons" on the dark green rind.
