- Originating in France around 1920 the Charentais melon is best known for its tropically exotic aroma and fragility making it dificult to ship.
90 Days to maturity. Cucumis melo var. inodorus. Charentais Melon Seeds. A non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, heirloom, heat-tolerant specialty melon. Suitable for growing in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. This incredibly unique melon is unlike any cantaloupe or honeydew you’ve ever tried. The intense aroma is intoxicating and a dead giveaway in the garden. When ripe, the skin turns yellow, and the melon slips easily off the vine. This gourmet fruit will keep you eagerly checking the vegetable patch for more each season! You won’t find this 2-3 pound variety in any grocery store or specialty fruit shops, as they do not ship well.
