Delicious 51 Cantaloupe Seeds (Cucumis melo) – 50+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Sweet Aromatic Orange Flesh & Netted Rinds, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners

Delicious 51 Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) is an early, reliable heirloom prized for its rich aroma and sweet, juicy orange flesh. Fruits typically weigh 3–5 lb with a classic netted rind and small seed cavity—perfect for breakfast bowls, smoothies, and refreshing summer desserts.

A warm-season favorite, Delicious 51 matures in about 80–85 days and thrives in full sun with heat and even moisture. Vigorous vines set heavily when pollinators are active and temperatures are steady, rewarding regular watering and good airflow with consistent, high-quality melons.

Harvest at full slip—when fruits release easily from the stem—and enjoy peak sweetness and perfume. Chill before serving for the best flavor and texture. Excellent for fresh eating, fruit salads, and juicing.

Dependable, early, and flavorful, Delicious 51 brings classic muskmelon taste to home gardens with a steady crop of beautifully netted melons all season long.

🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 50

Sow outdoors after danger of frost when soil is warm (65–70°F+), or start indoors 2–3 weeks early in biodegradable cells to minimize root disturbance. Choose a sunny site with fertile, well-draining soil; raised beds or mounds warm fastest in spring.

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing 18–24 inches apart on rows 5–6 feet apart, or 3–4 plants per hill with hills spaced 3–4 feet. Water deeply and consistently—avoid wetting foliage late in the day. Mulch to maintain even soil moisture and encourage steady growth.

Encourage pollination by attracting bees with nearby blooms. Reduce water slightly as fruits near maturity to concentrate sweetness. Harvest at full slip when fragrance is strong and the stem detaches with gentle pressure.

Bright color easy to see but not a great bounce on the outdoor court
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Pink
I liked the fact that these balls were a bright color and easy to see but the bounce on them was not as good as other name brands. They were OK as a back-up and performed better outside then on the indoor courts which are made of a different surface. We are using them , but would most likely not repurchase.

Price was best I found for quantity anywhere
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Purple
I am a beginner and by no means an expert, but these balls appear to be as any other. The couple at the next court had a Franklin ball that came our way, and I bounced it and popped it back - I couldn't tell any difference in that instance. Sports stores had just one color - yellow (maybe one had chartreuse) amazon has single colors multiple - I thought it was worth this purchase. The purple may be harder to see on cloudy days - as I had on sunglasses and I could see it, but the fence at the court has a "privacy" net, it kinda bleneded in for a very brief moment until the sound was heard of the return, then no problem.

Great Balls!
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: Purple
Great Outdoor balls. These are correct weight at 0.85oz and with 40 holes for outdoor play, not indoor as some other reviewers claim.

NOT Outdoor balls.
Style: 6 - Pack, Color: White
NOT outdoor. Don't waste your time if you are looking for proper outdoor balls, these are indoor. I don't play indoor so couldn't use them.
