QUALITY GUARANTEED

  • Watermelon Sugarbaby is a classic and much-loved variety, producing compact, round fruits with deep red, juicy flesh and a wonderfully sweet flavour. Ideal for home growing, this variety is well suited to UK conditions when grown in a greenhouse, polytunnel or a very warm, sunny sheltered spot outdoors.

  • Despite its manageable fruit size, Sugarbaby delivers excellent taste and is perfect for summer desserts, fruit salads or enjoying fresh on hot days. The vigorous vines make it a rewarding plant for gardeners who enjoy growing something a little more exotic at home.

  • Light Required Full sun in a warm, sheltered position

    Watering Water regularly during growth and fruiting, keeping soil evenly moist, especially in warm weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in a warm, sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil or compost. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development, and feed every couple of weeks for best results. Grow under cover for reliable ripening, and harvest when fruits sound hollow when tapped and develop a dull sheen.
