Smooth pale greenish-yellow fruits about 11.5cm (4) in diameter, with firm, very sweet, salmon-pink flesh. More tolerant of low temperatues than most Cantaloupe varieties so will bear fruit even in cool summers. For growing in frames, under cloches or fleece in the garden & recommended for northern districts. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Please note: There is a possibility that your plant will include a grafting clip, if it does, this is an integral part of the grafting process & that it should be left in place. As the plant grows it will naturally shrug off the clip. What's so good about grafted veg plants? We are revolutionising the home grown vegetable market with our range of grafted vegetable plants! Commercially the grafting method has been used for some time, but we've developed them for the home gardener, & early adopters have had extraordinary results: Big increases in yield from larger, more vigorous plants
- up to 75% more crops than a standard vegetable plant! Earlier cropping, yet with sufficient vigour to crop well later in the season Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors
- little or no heating required Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest & diseases
- no more ring culture or grow bags
