Watermelon – Premier Seedless Hybrid
80-85 Days | Premier is a red fleshed triploid (seedless watermelon), round to slightly oblong and averages 14-18 Lb. Medium thin rind is glossy with medium to dark green stripes on a light green background and is a good shipper. Vines are hardy and yield well. Please remember that seedless watermelon require a diploid (normal) watermelon to pollinate with. We normally recommend a variety visibly distinct, so as to avoid confusion.

Description
When planting seedless watermelon, you will need to plant a pollinator (select from options below) alongside the triploid. Crimson Sweet and Allsweet are some of the most often used. Cross-pollination is most easily accomplished by sequencing rows of standard (diploid) melons across the field. The most common ratio is 1:3, one row of pollinator to 2 rows of seedless, or mixed in a 1:4 ratio if not planting in rows.
Seedless varieties are more sensitive to early season shocks, and we normally recommend starting them indoors rather than direct seeding.
