Description

Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) is a famous American heirloom melon introduced in the early 1900s, celebrated for its legendary flavor and heavy production. Producing uniform, rounded 2–3 pound fruits with fine netting and light ribbing, it features deep, thick, orange flesh that is intensely sweet, juicy, and highly aromatic. A classic gardener's favorite, it delivers reliable, mouthwatering yields throughout the warm summer months.
