Crimson Watermelon Seeds are small and typically black or dark brown in color. When planted, they can grow into a large, oval-shaped fruit with a deep green rind and juicy, bright red flesh.

- Soil requirements: Crimson watermelon seeds thrive in well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun exposure, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering requirements: Watermelon plants need consistent watering, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as the fruit matures to prevent splitting.
- Planting season: The best time to plant crimson watermelon seeds is in the late spring to early summer, after the last frost has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 3-4 feet apart in rows that are 6-8 feet apart to allow ample room for the vines to spread.
- Germination time: Crimson watermelon seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Crimson watermelons usually reach maturity in about 80-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest watermelons is in the early morning when the temperatures are cooler, which helps preserve the fruit's freshness.
- Harvesting tips: To determine if a watermelon is ready for harvest, check for a dull skin, a yellowish spot on the underside where it rested on the ground, and a dry, brown tendril near the fruit's stem. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached. Store harvested watermelons in a cool, dry place.
