Description
A stylish and classic red watermelon with a heavenly taste.

Produces large elegant fruits with red flesh and green striped skin.

The variety is also resistant to many diseases unlike other varieties.

Crimson Sweet also has green decorative vines with adorable yellow small flowers. Watermelon contains vitamin C which is an important antioxidant and also vitamin B6 which contributes to a normal and healthy energy metabolism of protein and glycogen.

The variety is great to eat as it is or combined in a fruit salad with other fruits.

Making a healthy and creamy watermelon ice cream or serving a summer watermelon gazpacho to guests are two very fun ways to serve this variety.

Another lovely tip that we at Florea want to share is to grill watermelon and top it with feta cheese, mint, baby spinach and a little grated lemon zest.

Heavenly delicious!
Care and cultivation advice

Start by sowing indoors in seed soil, one seed per planting pot. Make sure to water the soil before sowing and keep it moist throughout the germination period. For best germination results, cover the planting with a transparent cover with air holes, but it also works without this step.

Store the planting at around 25°C before the seeds have sprouted, and around 15-20°C after they have sprouted, and as bright as possible. For best results, use plant lighting during indoor cultivation. When the roots of the pot begin to emerge from the underside, it is time to transplant the seedlings into larger pots or planting containers.

Then plant the seedlings outdoors when they have been adequately hardened and when the nighttime temperature does not fall below 8°C. Choose a warm and sheltered planting site with plenty of space for the roots to grow. A greenhouse or a warm enclosed patio is ideal for Crimson Sweet, but a sheltered and warm patio works as well. This variety is a climbing plant and likes to spread out with its beautiful vines, so make sure it has surface area to do so, or use plant supports. When the fruits begin to grow large, they may need help being tied up to prevent the vines from breaking.

Important to keep in mind! (If this variety is grown in a greenhouse or enclosed patio, it needs help with pollination. The easiest way to do this is to take a small brush or cotton swab and dab it from one flower to another. Repeat this process a few times on all the flowers with the same tool you used earlier.

Why we started Florea

Florea grew out of a feeling that something was missing. We couldn’t find anyone online who truly inspired people to grow in a way that felt modern or relevant. It was either very technical or felt a little dated. To us, gardening has always been so much more: something emotional, creative and inspiring.

We wanted to show that gardening is about more than plants. It’s about the feeling of creating something yourself, the calm it brings and the positive effect it has on both body and mind. We felt that side of gardening wasn’t really being given the space it deserved.

What Florea stands for

In a world that keeps moving faster, where more is being automated and AI is always part of the conversation, we feel a strong need to hold on to what makes us human. Growing something yourself is a simple but powerful way to do that.

We often come back to our phrase “Fabrique moi même”, which to us means “created by me”. It captures the heart of what we believe: that the most meaningful things are often the ones you create yourself, even if they’re small or not quite perfect.

A family legacy since 1940

Florea was founded in 2020 by Erik Hoekstra, son of Johannes Hoekstra and grandson of Georg Hoekstra. The company is rooted in a family tradition where gardening and flowers have always been a natural part of life.

It all began with Georg, who grew up among the flower fields of Lisse in the Netherlands. After the Second World War, he began exporting flower bulbs to Scandinavia. Johannes later took over the business, and Erik grew up helping out in the family’s flower fields.

Through Florea, Erik wants to carry on his family’s love of gardening and help more people discover the joy of growing their own flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Har du kun frø i din ordre, er fragten gratis ved køb over 249 kr. Har du løg eller knolde i din ordre, er fragten gratis ved køb over 449 kr.

Hvordan fungerer det, hvis jeg køber både frø og løg?

Køber du både frø og løg, betaler du 59 kr i fragt, eller fragten er gratis ved ordrer over 449 kr.

Hvordan fungerer jeres forudbestillinger?

Forudbestilling betyder, at du bestiller og betaler for en vare, når du handler, men at vi leverer den på et senere tidspunkt, som vi giver besked om.

Hvad sker der, hvis jeg køber en vare på lager og en forudbestilt vare?

Køber du en vare, vi har på lager, og en forudbestilt vare, får du et valg i kassen. Enten sender vi hele din ordre, når den forudbestilte vare er på lager, eller også kan du mod et lille gebyr få varerne på lager sendt med det samme, mens den forudbestilte vare leveres senere.

Hvornår kommer min ordre, og hvilke dage sender I?

Alle ordrer, der modtages inden kl. 12.00 på en hverdag, sendes samme dag. Vi pakker også i weekenden, men fragtfirmaerne henter kun på vores lager på hverdage. Til Danmark er leveringstiden normalt 3-6 dage. Frø sendes som brev direkte til din postkasse, og pakker sendes med PostNord.

Kan jeg ændre eller annullere min ordre?

Kontakt os så hurtigt som muligt med dit ordrenummer. Så længe ordren ikke er pakket, kan vi ændre leveringsadresse, pakkeshop eller fragtmetode eller annullere den helt. Når ordren er pakket, kan den desværre ikke ændres, men du kan returnere varerne inden for vores 30 dages returret.

Jeg nåede ikke at hente pakken. Hvad sker der nu?

Pakker, der ikke bliver hentet inden for pakkeshoppens frist, sendes tilbage til os. Kontakt os med dit ordrenummer, så hjælper vi dig med at få ordren sendt igen.

Varen er udsolgt. Hvornår kommer den igen?

Klik på "Giv mig besked" på produktsiden og indtast din e-mailadresse, så får du en mail, så snart varen er på lager igen. Udsolgte frø kommer som regel tilbage i begyndelsen af december, lige i tide til næste sæson.

Garanti, returnering og reklamation

Hvad indebærer jeres spiregaranti?

Det betyder ganske enkelt, at hvis et produkt, du har købt hos os, ikke spirer, uanset om det er et frø, en knold eller et blomsterløg, så kompenserer vi dig med enten et nyt produkt gratis eller pengene tilbage. Vi behøver intet bevis, dit ord er nok.

Et løg eller en rod var dårlig eller kom ikke op. Hvad gør jeg?

Kontakt vores kundeservice, så får du et nyt produkt eller pengene tilbage.

Kan jeg returnere frø og løg?

Du har altid 30 dages returret hos os. Vil du returnere dine varer, så kontakt vores kundeservice, så hjælper vi dig.
