Lemon Krush Watermelon seeds

SKU: LK8096

Impress during summer get-togethers with this striking watermelon. The Lemon Krush is an F1 hybrid that boasts dark green skin and a rich yellow to gold inside. The name comes more from the color, not the flavor. The flavor is similar to a traditional melon but significantly sweeter. This makes it ideal for refreshing watermelon agua frescas, homemade popsicles, or simply eaten fresh.

Unlike many other varieties of watermelon, this variety has a lot to brag about. Lemon Krush is resistant to Powdery mildew types 1 & 2 and has tolerance to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose.

These will mature and be ready to harvest around the 85-90 day mark. Each melon will vary in color from bright yellow to subtle gold. The average weight is about 16-18 lbs.
