Jubilee Watermelon Seeds (Heirloom Variety)
(Citrullus lanatus) 50 seeds per pack.
Sweet, juicy, and built for sunshine — the Jubilee Watermelon is a time-honored favorite that brings classic summer flavor straight from the garden to your table. First developed in Florida in the 1960s, this heirloom variety is prized for its large, striped oblong fruits, crisp red flesh, and unbeatable sweetness.
Each plant produces heavy yields of watermelons that can grow up to 25–40 pounds, with smooth green rinds streaked in light and dark stripes. Inside, you’ll find vibrant scarlet flesh that’s firm, juicy, and bursting with old-fashioned flavor — the kind you can only get from a homegrown melon picked at its peak.
Jubilee Watermelons thrive in hot, sunny climates with long growing seasons, making them an excellent fit for Apple Valley’s warm, dry environment. They love full sun, well-drained soil, and consistent watering early on, but once established, they handle the desert heat beautifully. The vines are vigorous and sprawling, providing plenty of cover and protection for the ripening melons beneath.
With a growing period of about 90 days from transplant, you’ll be harvesting massive, picture-perfect melons just in time for mid- to late-summer barbecues. Their sweet, refreshing flavor makes them perfect for fruit salads, juice, or straight-off-the-rind snacking on a hot day.
Plant these seeds in mounds spaced 6–8 feet apart for maximum growth and airflow. With the right care and plenty of sunshine, Jubilee Watermelon will reward you with a bumper crop of sweetness — pure summer nostalgia in every bite.
From seed to slice, this is the watermelon that turns backyards into celebrations.
