Victory Seed Company Black Diamond Watermelon

Black Diamond watermelons are vigorous growers that require significant room to spread. You should space your plants 4 to 6 feet apart to ensure they have enough airflow and soil nutrients to support their large fruit.

You can do either, but direct sowing into warm spring soil is often preferred because watermelons have sensitive roots that don't always transplant well. If you choose to start them indoors, use peat pots to minimize root disturbance when moving them outside.

Yes, these are open-pollinated seeds, which means you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons. Because they are not hybrids, the offspring will grow true to the parent plant.

You can expect a harvest approximately 90 days after planting. Keep in mind that this timeline can vary slightly based on your local climate and how consistently warm your growing season is.

This is a large-fruited variety, with mature melons typically weighing between 30 and 50 pounds. Make sure your garden bed is prepared to support these heavy fruits as they develop.
