A summertime treat, Sugar Baby sets an abundance of flavorful fruit on compact vines. The refreshing, sweet, crunchy pink watermelons have thick, nearly black rinds and are small enough to fit easily in the icebox. Melons weigh up to 12 lbs. and are about 8-10 inches in diameter when mature. Great for small gardens and the perfect size for kids.
