Description

Be sure to check out our Watermelon Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing watermelons at home.

Sangria Watermelon is a hybrid watermelon variety with exceptional sweetness and consistent texture. Sangria is an "allsweet" variety that's even sweeter than Crimson Sweet. Consistently-shaped fruits average 20-25 lbs and have an oblong shape. Fruits have a deep red interior and a dark green rind with light green stripes. Sangria is considered the gold-standard for seeded watermelons. It holds well once harvested, providing a longer window to enjoy these delicious summer treats.

Watermelons may be direct seeded or transplanted. For direct seeding, we recommend planting Seeds every 12" along the intended row to ensure a good stand. Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Watermelons can be susceptible to plant diseases if excess leaf moisture is present. As a result, we recommend using drip irrigation on watermelons to reduce leaf moisture and feed plants more effectively. During periods of heavy rainfall, using a fungicide like Liquid Copper can help to alleviate disease pressure as well.

Watermelons also perform well when transplanted. In early spring, we recommend transplanting to get a jump start on the growing season. Watermelon prefers warmer temperatures for seed to germinate. By transplanting, you can have plants in the ground before the soil temperature warms enough to direct seed. We recommend starting transplants 4-5 weeks before the desired outdoor planting date.

Watermelon transplants grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays, where they develop a solid root ball with roots that are trained to grow downward. Plants are ready to go in the ground when they can be easily pulled from the cells in the seed starting tray. Watermelons are ready to harvest when the tendril near the fruit completely dries. The tendril can be found between the fruit stem and the fruit. It is usually curly and green, but will dry when fruits are ready to harvest.

Sweet

Just ate our first Sangria. Picked when curly cue was completely dry. Beautiful color, texture and sweetness. Forgot to weigh it, but it was a nice size. Learned about Sangria from Hoss video. Highly recommend their videos.

So far, so good

I had some challenges sprouting the seeds, but they are all alive and in the ground. Probably just me, but the wet paper towel on a plate and under plastic wrap worked the best.

I got a late start, but hopefully in a couple - three months I'll have something to report.

Special watermelon

Grew these last year with phenomenal results. They were the sweetest crunchiest best watermelons ever. I grew them in our blueberry patch in new dirt. ( never planted in before). We had one 40# and many 30 plus pounds. Gave to all our friends & neighbors. Love them!
