Watermelon-Florida Giant

Citrullus lanatus

Watermelons are refreshing, low in calories, contain antioxidants, and make a fruitful addition to your vegetable garden! Jubilee watermelons are 24" long x 12" wide and weigh 35 pounds. The bright red flesh is firm, sweet, and fine-textured with large black seeds. This variety is a good shipper, resistant to FW and AN1, and matures in 90 days.
Jubilee watermelons come from the researches of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station in Leesburg in 1963, created by crossing together the varieties Africa 8, Iowa Belle, Garrison Hawkesbury and Leesburg. These large, oblong melons thrive in heat and humidity, making this variety an excellent choice for warmer climates; they also adapt well to various climates, and have become one of the most popular watermelons in the United States.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
