Napoli Tuscan Melon Seeds
Disease Resistant Orange Melon
Napoli Tuscan melon seeds are a rewarding choice for home gardeners and small-scale farmers seeking a flavorful and dependable summer crop. This delicious Italian specialty yields plump, 2 to 3 pound netted melons with small seed cavities and deep orange sweet flesh renowned for complex rich flavor and spicy floral aroma. These melons thrive in warm, sunny conditions and perform best in well-drained, fertile soils with consistent moisture during the growing season.
Napoli vines are powdery mildew and fusarium resistant with a strong leaf canopy that protects fruit from sunscald. Fruits ripen early and display good crack resistance, making them ideal for growers seeking a reliable harvest. With their aromatic flesh and juicy texture, Napoli melons are perfect for enjoying fresh as a snack, for dessert, or served Italian style as an appetizer with paper-thin slices of prosciutto.
Whether you’re expanding your summer garden or growing specialty crops for market, Napoli Tuscan melons bring outstanding flavor, resilience, and traditional charm to the field or table.
