Melon 'Rugosa di cosenza'

Keep the water up in summer but restrict water when the fruit begins to ripen for maximum sweetness.

Keep in mind when planting that Rugosa di cosenza is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors.

Look to ensure a distance 6.50 feet (2.00 metres) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.58 inches (1.5 cm) deep.

Plant seeds after risk of frost has passed in spring.

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

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