Watermelon 'Valentina F1'

Keep in mind when planting that Valentina F1 is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Valentina F1 requires a soil ph of 6.5 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 8.12 feet (2.50 metres) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Valentina F1 is a tender plant.
