Average ripening time of about 90-100 days. High growth. Pronounced sweetness. Yellow cobs. (AS) #Sweet corn
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
Pre-growing corn plantlets 2-3 weeks before the planting date is recommended. Corn germinates quickly at temperatures around 25 °C, then place in a cooler place. Plant the corn bed on the north or west side of the garden so that neighboring beds are not shaded. Spacing: about 60 cm for single rows; 80-100 cm for double rows; in rows 20-25 cm. (From Bingenheimer Saatgut). It is best to plant several rows, as corn is wind-pollinated, and otherwise only parts of the cobs are covered with kernels.
