Ambrosia is a hybrid cantaloupe that has been one of the most popular home-garden melons for over 20 years, prized for its salmon-colored, sweet, and crisp flesh. Melons average 6 inches in diameter and can weigh up to 5 pounds, with a small seed cavity that leaves more edible fruit per melon. Plants are vigorous and resistant to powdery mildew.
