    Only grown melons in the ground but they require plenty of space, water and feed to obtain a reasonable harvest.
    I'm not familiar with the variety you mention but it will require some sort of framework to support the plant and unless it is a mini variety, additional support for each fruit as it matures. 
    Good luck :)

    After keeping my own seed from a shop bought fruit I have grown melons for the past two summers in the green house in pots and just let the fruit sit on the bench
