Orangeglo

Orangeglo is an open-pollinated watermelon renowned for its brilliant orange flesh and exceptionally high sugar content, often ranked among the sweetest watermelons available. Developed in the 20th century, it produces large oblong fruit with a light green striped rind. Orangeglo is especially popular with home gardeners and at farmers markets for its striking color and tropical, honeyed sweetness. Because it is open-pollinated, gardeners can save seed and grow it true to type. The variety requires a long, warm season to fully develop its sugars and vivid interior color, and it rewards patient growers with some of the most flavorful and visually distinctive melons in the garden.
