Product Description

The Sugar Baby watermelon is a compact, heirloom variety prized for its sweet, deep red flesh and small, round shape. This icebox watermelon is perfect for those with limited space, as it grows to about 8-10 inches in diameter and weighs around 8-12 pounds. Its dark green rind with faint stripes contrasts beautifully with the bright red interior, which is dense, crisp, and highly flavorful. The Sugar Baby matures quickly, offering a refreshing summer treat in as little as 75 days, making it a favorite among home gardeners.
