RM Watermelon

RM Watermelon is a distinctive introduction from River Merle Farm, admired for its vibrant green centre and saturated pink-toned petals. The contrast between the bright, fresh centre and the richly coloured outer petals gives each bloom a lively, modern presence.

This variety is especially striking when harvested slightly early, while the green centre remains pronounced. At this stage, the blooms carry crisp definition and exceptional bouquet impact. When used as a single-variety bundle, RM Watermelon delivers cohesive, high-impact colour that feels both joyful and refined.

Plants grow to approximately 3 feet in height with sturdy, usable stems suitable for cutting. Despite its shorter stature, RM Watermelon produces dependable stems throughout the season, making it an excellent choice for focused bouquet production.
