CHARENTAIS MELON FRUIT RARE FRENCH CANTALOUPE SWEET HEIRLOOM NON-GMO 20+ SEEDS 

* The heirloom Charentais Melon is considered, by many, to be the top melon in the world!  This is partly due to the fact that the Charentais has a high Brix index or measure of sweetness. 

* The flavor of this fruit is very smooth and rich! 

* This open-pollinated cantaloupe melon has been a favorite of French chefs for years. It also served up at breakfast time and is a wonderful complement to other foods. Also, aside from the great taste of this melon, it has many health benefits as it is a rich source of the antioxidants and Vitamin A, C and B6.

* The Non-GMO Charentais Melon was developed in the Charentes region of France in the 1920s. The Charentais has a smooth, round and creamy green-gray appearance which is attractive.  It'll reach sizes of about 3 Lbs., and is ripe when it is fragrant on the vine.

* The Charentais, besides its uses as an edible, is great for the garden.  It'll attract a wide range of pollinators like bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.  In addition, it'll draw many predatory insects to the garden, creating a balanced ecosystem. 

* Charentais, with its sprawling growing habit, smothers weeds and can serve as a living mulch.  This will make your life as a gardener much easier!  

* The Charentais will thrive in most growing regions of the United States.
