Product Information Chevron Down Chevron Forward

Sierra Gold Heirloom Cantaloupe has a very small seed cavity in its 6" diameter that makes it ideal for serving in halves.

The sweet and juicy golden flesh of this fruit is high in vitamins A, B, and C. The cantaloupe plants are also tolerant to powdery mildew. If started indoors, try not to disturb the seedling roots too much at transplant.
