🍉 Watermelon ‘Sugar Baby’
🍉 Botanical Name: Citrullus lanatus
🍉 Type: Annual

Watermelon ‘Sugar Baby’ is a popular early variety producing round, dark green fruits with sweet, juicy, deep red flesh. Compact vines and relatively small fruits make it one of the best watermelons for cooler climates and greenhouse or polytunnel growing. With its excellent flavour and high sugar content, it’s a favourite for home gardeners.
