Description

The listing, Jelly melon seeds, 6 has ended.

I have extra seeds of Cucumis metuliferus that I just purchased from a local permaculture supplier. This fun looking fruit is native to the Kalahari desert where it serves as a source of water, and apparently is quite easy to grow -- this year will be my first time.The photo of the seeds shows the exact seeds that you will receive.

Info from seedsavers.org: Kiwano, African Horned Cucumber originated in semi arid Africa near the Kalahari desert. Thorny oval fruits are filled with green-gold gel and lots of seeds; very high in vitamin C. The flavor is reminiscent of pomegranate and citrus. The primary market niche is for garnishes and decorative fruits. 120 days.
