A Watermelon with Celestial Charm:
Each Moon & Stars watermelon is a work of natural art, featuring a dark green rind marked with bright yellow spots. The medium-to-large fruits average 15–20 pounds but can grow up to 40 pounds under ideal conditions. Inside, crisp red flesh delivers a classic, juicy watermelon flavor that’s exceptionally sweet and satisfying.
Why Gardeners Love Moon & Stars Watermelon:
- Unique heirloom variety with striking galaxy-patterned rind
- Produces 15–20 lb fruits with sweet, crisp red flesh
- Thick rind protects fruit during storage and makes excellent pickles
- Beautiful addition to home gardens and farmer’s markets
- Non-GMO, open-pollinated seed with dependable germination
- Excellent for slicing, picnics, and summer celebrations
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 2–4 weeks before the last frost or direct-sow outdoors when soil temperatures reach 70°F. Choose a full-sun location with rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 3–4 feet apart in rows 6–8 feet apart. Keep soil evenly moist, watering deeply until fruits begin to ripen, then reduce watering to enhance sweetness. Harvest in about 90–100 days when the underside turns creamy yellow and the nearby tendril dries.
Harvest & Enjoy:
Slice open a Moon & Stars watermelon to reveal its vibrant red flesh and crisp texture. Perfect for snacking, picnics, or summer desserts. The thick rind also makes excellent pickles—an old-fashioned favorite for preserving summer flavor.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
