Easiest to grow!

I bought this type of watermelon plant after my first attempt with trying to grow sugar babies, from seed, failed. Faerie watermelon plants from GrowJoy was an absolute JOY to grow! The flavor was outstanding, as well.

Grows quickly

I tried this new type of watermelon for my container garden. The plant arrived healthy and I transplanted immediately. I have 3 growing quickly! I should probably limit the growth to 2 because of the container, but I'm enjoying seeing them all grow!

From JoAnn | August 09, 2024

Lovely!

Arrived safe, secure and healthy, albeit very small. Transplanted into the end of a raised bed with trellis to support growth. Took a number of weeks to see a change in growth, but suddenly, this little plant has taken off, grabbing ahold of its trellis and flowering. I realize it will be some time yet to taste this unique melon, but patience is a virtue!

Great Product!!

I have never grown watermelons before so after having received so many well packaged and healthy looking plants in the past, I decided to try ! I AM SO HAPPY that I did! The plants were are growing and I have 3 already!

Perfect

I received this in early June it was a tiny little plant. It was healthy and I planted it in my garden about a week later. It's towards the end of July now and so far I have about 4 watermelons the size of Roma tomatoes. I'm very excited and cannot wait to harvest :) I will definitely purchase from GrowJoy in the future!

Faerie Watermelon Plant

I purchased the Faerie Watermelon Plant from GrowJoy. This is the first time I have tried to grow this variety of watermelon, so I am anxious to see how it does. The plant was received in good condition. The packaging they use to ship plants in is absolutely remarkable, and it really protects the plant from becoming damaged during shipment. I always feel confident when ordering from GrowJoy that I will receive quality plants when promised.

Fairie Watermelon

I got these watermelon plants healthy & they are growing well in my garden. I look forward to the watermelons that they are going to produce.

From Vickie | May 15, 2018

wonderful plant- wonderful grower

Transplanted the healthy Faerie Watermelon plants I received. They took off and are growing extremely well in northern WNY climate. Multiple vines, long and healthy. Produced five to six melons on each vine. Grew them in narrow raised bed container. Used fruit set spray and calcium while growing. I will continue to grow them every year. Melons sweet and tasty.
