Reliable, Productive, and Full of Garden Charm:
Heirloom, non-GMO cucamelons with a naturally sweet-tart cucumber flavor
Small, watermelon-like fruits that add novelty and variety to summer gardens
Vigorous climbing habit ideal for trellises, fencing, or vertical gardening
Heat-tolerant plants that continue producing steadily throughout the season
Why Customers Love Cucamelon:
Unique appearance that adds excitement to garden beds and snack trays
Crisp fruits perfect for fresh eating, lunchbox snacks, and pickling
Great introduction to gardening for kids thanks to easy handling and fun size
Productive vines that offer reliable harvests even in warm climates
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once soil has warmed. Provide a trellis or vertical support to encourage healthy, manageable growth. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate moisture. Vines will naturally climb and begin producing small fruits once established. Harvest cucamelons when they reach grape size and feel firm.
Harvest & Use:
Pick fruits regularly to encourage continued production. Enjoy them fresh off the vine, slice into salads for a refreshing crunch, or pickle them whole for a tangy snack
