Dwarf Persian Melon (Cucumis Melo)

Dwarf Persian Melon (Cucumis Melo): Little is known about this tasty and ancient dwarf melon, but given its low water requirements, it likely originated in what is now Iraq. The fruit, with its silvery rind and fragrant flesh, ripens very quickly, and these will be the first melons you grow. The plant is not very productive, but it takes up little space and grows even in very difficult conditions. It prefers warmth both during germination and in the early stages of growth; however, once the plant is fully developed, it tolerates even sudden drops in temperature. It also adapts well to pots. Extremely rare for collectors.
