Citrullus lanatus

HEIRLOOM. Round fruits have a very thin rind that makes shipping impossible. Ledmon watermelons and seeds have been primarily passed down through families for generations. Incredibly sweet, round-ish, white-seeded melons reach 30 pounds or more! Developed in Greensboro, NC by J.E. Lednum in the early 20th century, Mr. Lednums name was misspelled by a county Board of Agriculture employee in a 1938 pamphlet, and the misspelling stuck. In areas around Greensboro though, the melon is still called Lednum with pride.

1.5 gram packet contains a minimum of 12 seeds.
