Thompson & MorganWatermelon Sunlove 3 Postiplug Plants
Description
Watermelon 'Sunlove' is a new Jubilee-type variety boasting gorgeous yellow fleshed melons with few seeds, a deliciously fresh flavour, and a high sugar content. Producing less foliage than other cultivars, this compact yet vigorous plant will produce 3-4 striped, green mini melons each weighing 2-3kg. Specifically bred for growing in our Northern Europe climate these spreading plants are best grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel where they have room to trial across the ground or trained to a wigwam or nettings to keep the fruit off the ground. Why not grow a summer favourite at home and enjoy delicious, juicy, and refreshing melons from home during a hot day!Pot up young melon plants and grow them on until they are large enough to be transplanted. Maintain a minimum temperature of 15c (60F) and keep the compost moist but not wet.Melon plants can be trained upwards on strings or wires, or allowed to spread flat on the ground. Pinch out the growing point after 5 leaves have formed to encourage lateral shoots to develop. Select 4 vigorous laterals and train these to 6 leaf stage, before pinching out each growing tip. Remove any other laterals. Fruiting sub laterals will then form on each stem.Product specifications:. Position: Full Sun. Height: Up to 40cm (16in). Spread: Up to 400cm (160 in).
