The Van Doren Moon & Stars watermelon is a visually striking heirloom variety, featuring a deep green rind that’s speckled with yellow "stars" and larger “moon." Its flesh is typically a vibrant red, sweet, and juicy, with seeds that are black, contrasting with the flesh. This watermelon's appearance makes it as much of an ornamental marvel as it is a delicious fruit.


Originally introduced in the 1920s, the Moon & Stars watermelon variety was further popularized by Van Doren in the 1980s. Its unique patterning was likely a natural mutation or selective breeding, capturing the imagination of gardeners and watermelon enthusiasts for its celestial-themed rind.
