First introduced to American gardeners in the late 19th century, Sweet Siberian Watermelon has long been admired for its ability to thrive where other melons fail. Believed to have originated in Russia, this heirloom watermelon was selected for short seasons and cooler climates, making it a perfect choice for northern gardeners. Compact, productive vines yield oval, 8–10 lb melons with golden-yellow rinds and richly sweet, apricot-orange flesh. Despite its cold-hardy reputation, Sweet Siberian is anything but mild—it’s one of the sweetest early watermelons we’ve grown, with a rich flavor that rivals larger southern types. Perfect for short-season regions or anyone eager to harvest melons before summer’s end, Sweet Siberian Watermelon combines reliability with exceptional flavor and old-world charm. Matures in about 80-85 days. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
