Glacial Super-Sweet Hybrid | Gurney's Seed & Nursery Co.

High Yields and Excellent Tip Fill

Taste and texture surpasses older varieties
Best-tasting white corn
Excellent eating quality

We grow a lot of sweet corn in our test gardens, and Glacial is our best-tasting white corn. It far surpasses older varieties in taste and texture. The super-sweet kernels have a nice crisp texture. Its plump, 8-8 1/2 in. ears are packed with glossy white kernels that stay white and don't yellow—and its dark green husks provide excellent tip coverage. In addition to being a flavor favorite, Glacial Hybrid Sweet Corn produces high yields. For best results, sow sweet corn seed after the soil has warmed to 65 degrees F and all danger of frost has passed. 76 DAYS.
