Charentais Melon Seeds – 20 Fresh Seeds
Charentais is a classic French melon prized for its intense fragrance, rich sweetness and perfume-like aroma. The fruits are small to medium-sized with smooth, grey-green skin that develops subtle ribbing as it matures. Inside, the flesh is deep orange, juicy and exceptionally flavourful, often considered superior to standard cantaloupe types.
Plants prefer warm, sunny conditions and well-drained soil, producing a tidy vine that sets a good number of fruits when given consistent watering and protection from cold nights. Charentais melons ripen when the skin changes colour and the aroma becomes unmistakably strong. They are best eaten fresh, where their complex, honeyed flavour truly shines.
A superb gourmet melon for gardeners who want exceptional taste and a reliable performer in greenhouses, polytunnels or warm outdoor spots.
