Latin cucumis melo var. cantalupensis

The Heirloom, Heart of Gold variety can trace its lineage back to 1895, when it was cultivated by Roland Morill of Benton Harbor, Michigan. This variety bearing medium sized fruit with a deep orange flesh. On vigorous vines the Heart of Gold cantaloupe is a productive producer that shows a high level of blight resistance. This easy-to-grow variety is a must for any and every cantaloupe lover. Early ripening and with fruit generally weighing between 3 and 5lbs.

Plant in full sun and give enough space for plants to sprawl (rows should be about 6' apart). Start indoors about 4 weeks before the last frost and transplant into warm soil to prevent transplant shock. We recommend using plantable peat or coir pots. Water at a steady rate throughout the summer for best performance and best melon development. This is most important during pollination and when fruit is setting. Withholding water for the last week before harvest will concentrate sugars and give the best tasting melons. Start indoors 4-5 weeks before the last frost. Matures in 90 days.
