‘Klondike Blue Ribbon Striped’ is an open-pollinated heirloom variety that has been a garden favorite since the early 1900s, beloved for its delicious sweet flesh.

This picnic cultivar produces oblong melons that will max out at 20-30 pounds.

Fruits have thin but tough rinds with alternating light and dark green stripes. Flesh is bright crimson, delicious, crisp, and its high sugar content makes it super sweet.

Plants are resistant to fusarium wilt, anthracnose, and sunburn. Although the rinds of these fruits are thin, they hold up well to handling.

‘Klondike Blue Ribbon Striped’ will be ready to harvest in 80-90 days.
