Watermelon - Georgia Rattlesnake
A great-tasting, snake-striped heirloom watermelon that grows up to 25-50 lbs. or even larger!
This Watermelon is one of the oldest heirloom varieties in existence. Also known as “Gypsy,” this variety was developed in Georgia around the 1830s. The bright pink crisp flesh is sweet and juicy, and it is known for the green and white stripes that resemble the pattern of a rattlesnake. Their solid rind is thin but very tough and helps them travel and store well. Plant seeds outside after the soil has warmed in spring. Create small mounds of soil 24” apart in 6’ rows. Plant three seeds 1” deep on top of each mound and then later thin to one plant per mound.
