Sweet corn has come a long way! Choose from high-sugar hybrids (su) that are sweeter at harvest and stay that way for up to 10 days, super-sweet hybrids (sh2) with their even higher sugar content and crisp texture, and sugary-enhanced hybrids (se) that are sweet, creamy and extra tender.

Awsome
Reviewed By: Tim (Ashland Co., Ohio)
This was a real pleaser for my market sales.I planted 4 pounds at 5 inches apart with rows 4 feet apart.I used 19-19-19 via broadcast then did 2 more passing with disk.Planted in end of may when soil was moist and fairly warm.Germination was about 95-98%.I dont double seed.I put 1 seed every 5 inches.Once tasseled i put urea 38-0-0 as a side dressing.As with any corn it likes nitrogen.Every top set corn was at least 8 inches with many many at 10 in.lower corn was still 6-8 inches.Some stalks had 4 ears on it with all having at least 2 ears setting about 18-24 inches from ground for easy picking.Corn had great sweet taste and cusomters were in love.This was my first year of marketing corn.I charged 3.50 a dozen and many many people have came back loving it. Oh i also used bicep for weed control when corn first ermerged.So weed free was a success.Second crop was honey and pearl.If you buy this corn do yourself a fav with any corn really you have to make sure you have the soil ready for a good crop.Small ears or small stalks means lame soil.12-12-12 is a good starter but dont be afaid to use something highter right at planting.

Good stuff!
Reviewed By: Stacy  (Huntington, IN)
Corn was easy to grow and probably the best tasting corn I've had. I did lose about a dozen or so ears to what my neighbor called corn blight. Don't know if that was a genetic thing or just chance that my corn got it. I would have given it a five otherwise. I will be growing it again this year.

Disappointed
Reviewed By: Julie & Rick (Merrill , MI)
Only about 50% of the seed germinated during two different plantings. Each stalk produced only one small (5") ear of corn. Not much flavor, either. Will not purchase again. Will try another variety.
