How to grow Watermelon 'Jubilee'

  • Full Sun

Keep in mind when planting that Jubilee is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.5 and 7.5 is ideal for Jubilee as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Jubilee from seed

Sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 8.12 feet (2.50 metres). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Jubilee

As Jubilee is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
