🍉 Astrakhan Watermelon – an early, sweet and reliable classic

Astrakhan is a fast-growing, early watermelon variety that performs well both in greenhouses and in warm, sheltered open-field conditions. The fruits are round with dark green stripes, and the flesh is bright red, crisp and exceptionally sweet.

This variety is valued for its consistent ripening and strong growth, making it suitable even for regions with shorter summers. Plants need warmth, sun and well-drained soil to thrive.

Typical fruit weight is 2–4 kg, but with optimal care, the melons can grow even larger.
