Queen Anne's Pocket Melon

A charming old-fashioned heirloom, Queen Anne’s Pocket Melon is as delightful as it is unusual! This petite, highly fragrant melon produces beautiful golden-yellow fruits measuring approximately 2–3 inches wide and weighing around 4–8 ounces each, with delicate ribbing and a sweet, perfume-like aroma. Historically carried in pockets by ladies of the Victorian era as a natural fragrance, these little melons were treasured for their captivating scent. Though not typically grown for eating, they are edible and taste like a mild blend of pear and honeydew. Their wonderfully sweet fragrance makes them a fascinating addition to any garden. Easy to grow and full of historical charm, Queen Anne’s Pocket Melon is a unique conversation piece that brings a little old-world elegance to your garden!
