Smallish

This plant seemed on the small side but healthy. I had a small issue getting it in the planter without loosing some stem but it seems to be doing well.

Can't Wait

The Watermelon plant is doing wonderful and I can't wait to cut in to one of these sweet babies.

From Matthew | June 15, 2018


Happy ending

I ordered two plants, one arrived in excellent condition while one arrived looking unhealthy. One is doing great and growing, though the other one did die. These were replacements for other watermelon plants that died, and though it was disappointing, Tina Miller in the Customer Care dept was absolutely amazing. She answered all questions, gave me credits for the plants and followed up with me afterwards. She was friendly, responsive, and assisted just as she said she would. She is the gem of the company, thank you again Tina!

Beautiful plants, cannot wait to get them in the ground. Last year's bounty was amazing

Sugar Baby Watermelon

I am so excited to grow these guys in my garden. Their packaging protected them from getting smushed or broken. They came thriving & growing by the second! I had to plant them immediately because they had definitely outgrown their container. The second they got room & sun they took off! I can't mention enough good things about this company. I will only order from them in the future, even though I have to pay shipping, it's worth it! You just can't get this kind of variety & quality at your local store. Healthy happy plants!

Love my Sugar Doll plants

I planted all three or four saplings. I received the package good shape and planted it in a hole. After one week one saplings died.

From Mohammad | May 23, 2015


very happy

The Sugar Doll Watermelon is very small but are doing very well. I am looking forward to the sweet melons.

From Richard | April 09, 2015


These are my favorite

I always get complements on the pretty foliage of these Sugar Doll watermelon plants that are in tires in my front yard. With all of the rain that we have gotten in the last week, I can actually say that I have seen these plants grow right before my eyes. Last year I had so many melons that I couldn't give them away. This year I cut back on the amount of plants and will have enough for my family and friends.

From Inez Zoe Esters | June 05, 2014

Pleasantly Surprised by Sugar Doll PS Watermelon Plant!

I received the watermelon plants in a timely manner. I opened the box to find the plants in the best protective packaging. The plants was strong and taller than expected. Better than any Watermelon plants sold at Home Depot. I can hardly wait to taste my Sugar Doll Watermelons. This is my first purchase. Thanks.
