Cantaloupe 'Boule D'Or'

Resistant to powdery mildew

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Boule D'Or 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.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 24°C / 75°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Boule D'Or about 14 days before your last frost date.

As Boule D'Or is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out (around 24°C / 75°F as a guideline) - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

Will not slip from the vine and does not grow fragrant when ripe; harvest as late as possible when turned mustard-yellow. Keeps for several weeks in a cold, dry place.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
