Treasured for centuries for their sweet scent and diminutive size, Queen Anne's Pocket melons were once carried in pockets for use as deodorizers. The vine fruits grow to be about the size of tennis balls and have delightfully smooth skin that's striped with jagged orange and yellow lines. Grown primarily for their incredible fragrance, Queen Anne's Pocket melons have a beautiful white flesh that is edible, however virtually tasteless. Plant this variety in your garden as an ornamental that will add a lot of color and fragrance, then harvest the melons and place them around your home and outdoor living spaces to naturally freshen up and sweeten the air.
