Melon, Rich Sweetness 132

80 days. A tiny and wondrous melon from the Soviet Union. Vibrant in color, intense sweet aroma and juicy, honeydew-like flesh make this a favorite edible ornamental. Allow the vines to climb a trellis or a fence, and you will be rewarded with luminous, striped fruit about the size of a tennis ball. Its whimsical eye appeal and intoxicating scent will transform landscape and garden designs into a fairy land, but the fruit isn't just photogenic; it's also deliciously sweet and juicy in texture! The vines produce a large yield, early in the season.
