Champagne Watermelon is a type of seedless watermelon and is typically grown in warm climates with long growing seasons. The fruit is sweet and a little more fibrous that red watermelons but still delicious. SHOP ABSeeds. Category Colour Guide. Planting Guide for Australia.
Champagne is a sweet oval-shaped watermelon with pale orange flesh and a pale-green skin striped with darker green. Champagne melons are great eaten fresh on their own or in salads. Champagne Juice make’s a refreshing drink or alternate the slices on fruit platters with red varieties on fruit platers for a striking effect.
Best sown direct early in the season. For earlier planting in cooler climates raise in pots in warm conditions and transplant after 3-4 weeks. Requires temperatures of around 18-20°C for germination. Sow in rows 40-60cm between plants and in rows 120cm apart If sowing direct, plant 3-4 seeds 15mm deep in mounds, later thinning to the two strongest plants. Plant in a free-draining soil in a position with full sun. For best results fertilise and keep well watered, keep soil moist and avoid overhead watering where possible. Harvest after 75-90 days when the stem turns brown and begins to break away from fruit.
