Mr. Men Little Miss Cucamelon 'Melothria' is a charming and fast-growing vine that yields an abundance of miniature melon-like fruits. These delightful fruits, also known as Little Mouse Watermelons, offer a crisp cucumber flavour with a tangy lemon twist. Ideal for gardeners seeking something fun and unique, this half-hardy annual thrives both in containers and garden beds, provided it has support to climb. Easy to grow and drought tolerant, the Cucamelon produces fruit from mid-summer through to early autumn. Its compact fruits are perfect for fresh eating straight from the vine or adding a zesty crunch to salads. This tender perennial can be overwintered in frost-free conditions, allowing for early crops the following year.
