Is there anything more refreshing than a slice of super-sweet cantaloupe on a hot summer day? While most cantaloupe plants hog space in the garden, Bonnie Plants® Foodie Fresh™ Atlantis Cantaloupe vines grow about 3 to 4 feet long. The shorter, disease-resistant vines make growing tasty fruit. While delicious alone as an easy dessert for summer picnics, the sky's the limit for cool culinary creations with Atlantis Cantaloupe. Enjoy it in fruit salad, blend it for sweet smoothies, add it to savory pasta recipes, wrap it with prosciutto, or dice it for salsa. Plus, it's rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Atlantis Cantaloupe grows beautifully in raised beds and in-ground gardens. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Resists fusarium wilt and powdery mildew. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® All-Purpose Plant Food. Atlantis Cantaloupe matures in 60 to 70 days. Bonnie Plants® Foodie Fresh™ live plant varieties create culinary inspiration, adding delicious flavors, textures, and colors to your garden-to-table meals.
