Juan Canary, it's an eye-catching, long-storing variety that stands out in the garden and on the table. Who it's for For gardeners who love unusual, colorful fruit and want a melon that stores longer than most cantaloupes, plus cooks who enjoy a lighter, crisper melon. How & when to plant Sow after all danger of frost once soil reaches 70°F, or start indoors 2–3 weeks early. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space 24–36 inches apart in rows 5–6 feet apart. Full sun and fertile, well-drained soil produce the sweetest fruit. Grows as an annual in USDA zones 4–11. Harvest Ready about 80–90 days from sowing. Pick when the skin turns fully bright yellow; unlike cantaloupe, the fruit does not slip, so cut it from the vine. Benefits & uses Delicious fresh, in fruit salads, or paired with citrus and mint. Its firm flesh and durable rind make it a good keeper for weeks in cool storage. Growing guide: New to this variety?
