HVH: "'Melon Melange' grows large 6-8" blooms that vary with the season. In hot weather, the flowers are bright pink with a yellow edge. In cooler spring and fall weather, they become watermelon colored with a pastel orange edge. In the coldest weather, the flowers become bright red with a smaller, darker orange edge.
'Melon Melange' grows on a medium-sized, strong, upright, and reliable bush. Released from HVH in 2007."
