Watermelon 'Fire Ball F1'

Medium Plant x 4


‘‘Fire Ball F1’ is a high yielding watermelon variety which produces large fruits with a smooth, almost black coloured skin. The flesh is a contrastingly intense pink and has a high sugar content, creating a very sweet taste. A truly delicious addition to your garden!

Grafted Plants

With space in short supply, you may need to grow tomatoes or other tender vegetables in the same place each year. Advantages of grafted vegetables include:

* Faster, stronger growth. * Higher yields. * More disease and pest resistance. * Can be harvested for longer.
What am I Buying?

Plug plants are small, young plants grown in cell trays. Even the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are still small plants from cell trays and not established plants. Plug plants can be great value compared to buying more established plants however they may need some extra care to get them started. Caring for Plug Plants

We recommend starting plug plants in a small pot and not planting directly into open ground or large pots/planters. You will want a plant pot roughly the size of a tea mug, commonly referred to as 7cm or 9cm pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.


Reduced Plastics

Please note: In order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
