A mid-early SSW variety that produces medium sized, yellow cobs. Typically 16-18 rows of grains on a 20cm long cob. Very sweet flavour with tender texture to grains. Medium height to plant.

This is a versatile, popular crop for fresh market sales, P.Y.O., prepack and processing. Works very well as a roadside sales item. Sweetcorn is also suitable for use as young plant sales for the home gardener.
Germinates at between 18 and 30°C. Sow April to June, spacing 20-30cm x 75-95cm, drilling rate 45,000-65,000 per hectare (18,000-26,000 per acre). Harvest August to October.

There are five main classifications for sweetcorn varieties:
1) Normal sugar type (su): standard sweetcorn performance and flavour.
2) Sugar enhanced (se): sweeter, more tender kernel than standard types, also has longer shelf-life.
3) Super sweet (sh2): higher levels of complex sugars with a slower conversion to starch, resulting in a sweeter flavour and long shelf-life.

Note: sh2 varieties should be grown separately from other types to avoid cross pollination which can cause a reduction in quality and flavour. None of our sweetcorn varieties are genetically modified.
