Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds grow into vine-spreading tender annuals that crave the heat. Crimson Watermelon is a refreshing treat that’s easy for any gardener to grow. Even though watermelon seeds are an ancient crop that have been around for 5,000 years, these types of warm season varieties are more resistant to certain bacterial diseases like fusarium wilt and have a shorter growing season than others. These heirloom watermelon seeds need plenty of space, as their vines can extend up to 8’ long. These juicy crimson-red watermelons can grow up to 25 lbs! Many watermelon seed types are popular for enjoying all summer, however; Crimson Sweet varieties are known to be the sweetest and most vibrant watermelon when it comes to flavor and appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e \n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Crimson Sweet Watermelon Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrullus lanatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e “Crimson Sweet”\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80-90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1-½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-8’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spreading-vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, loamy and well-drained with soil pH 5.5-6.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm to hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests\/diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cucumber beetles, melon aphids and powdery mildew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark-green striped exterior with dark-red fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy, sweet with hints of cucumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing:\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds once your soil has reached 70℉ and your region’s night temperatures don’t drop below 50℉. You can also start growing seeds indoors if you live in a cooler climate. Plant Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds 2-3 weeks after your region’s final frost and transplant the young plants outside once they’ve developed their first set of true leaves. It’s advised to sow in larger pots to protect watermelon’s fragile root growth. For direct-sowing, plant seeds in raised hills. Sow Crimson Sweet Watermelon ½-1” deep and with 2-3 seeds in each hill and 6’ spaced in between rows. Germination will take 3-10 days, depending on how warm the soil is in your garden. Sweet Crimson types prefer loamy and well-drained soil with a pH level of 5.5-6.5. As these warm season plants grow, they will produce male and female flowers. Pinch back some of the buds in order to help keep a consistent energy distribution flowing throughout the vines of these summer-loving plants. Place in a sunny location and give these water-abundant watermelons 1-2” per week until you see the first fruits start to bloom. Then water Crimson Sweet non-organic varieties once the soil has dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to harvesting watermelons of all types, there are some tips and tricks for scoping out ripeness. Visual cues such as checking the color on the bottom will show an off-white color if they’re still unripe. Crimson Sweet watermelons will be ripe once you see more of a yellow hue. Textural signs are the classic “thump” method as well as the gentle press. For “thumping” give a light knock on the rind to hear a hollow sound which indicates full maturity. Harvest the ripe fruit in 80 days from the sowing date. Cut the stem near the fruit with a knife or gardening shears. Uncut Crimson Sweet Watermelon can be stored in room temperature for up to 3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll watermelon plants reside in the cucurbita family and are native to the Western and Southern regions of Africa.

Many watermelon seed types are popular for enjoying all summer, however; Crimson Sweet varieties are known to be the sweetest and most vibrant watermelon when it comes to flavor and appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e \n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Crimson Sweet Watermelon Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrullus lanatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e “Crimson Sweet”\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80-90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1-½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-8’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spreading-vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, loamy and well-drained with soil pH 5.5-6.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm to hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests\/diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cucumber beetles, melon aphids and powdery mildew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark-green striped exterior with dark-red fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy, sweet with hints of cucumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing:\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds once your soil has reached 70℉ and your region’s night temperatures don’t drop below 50℉. You can also start growing seeds indoors if you live in a cooler climate. Plant Crimson Sweet Watermelon seeds 2-3 weeks after your region’s final frost and transplant the young plants outside once they’ve developed their first set of true leaves. It’s advised to sow in larger pots to protect watermelon’s fragile root growth. For direct-sowing, plant seeds in raised hills. Sow Crimson Sweet Watermelon ½-1” deep and with 2-3 seeds in each hill and 6’ spaced in between rows. Germination will take 3-10 days, depending on how warm the soil is in your garden. Sweet Crimson types prefer loamy and well-drained soil with a pH level of 5.5-6.5. As these warm season plants grow, they will produce male and female flowers. Pinch back some of the buds in order to help keep a consistent energy distribution flowing throughout the vines of these summer-loving plants. Place in a sunny location and give these water-abundant watermelons 1-2” per week until you see the first fruits start to bloom. Then water Crimson Sweet non-organic varieties once the soil has dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to harvesting watermelons of all types, there are some tips and tricks for scoping out ripeness. Visual cues such as checking the color on the bottom will show an off-white color if they’re still unripe. Crimson Sweet watermelons will be ripe once you see more of a yellow hue. Textural signs are the classic “thump” method as well as the gentle press. For “thumping” give a light knock on the rind to hear a hollow sound which indicates full maturity. Harvest the ripe fruit in 80 days from the sowing date. Cut the stem near the fruit with a knife or gardening shears. Uncut Crimson Sweet Watermelon can be stored in room temperature for up to 3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll watermelon plants reside in the cucurbita family and are native to the Western and Southern regions of Africa.
