The best tasting sweet corn on trials last year – super-sweet variety (SH2). Extra sweet and juicy, can even be eaten raw (where the juice runs down your chin). Excellent cob coverage. 3-5 cobs per plant. 15-20cm cobs. Harvest August-September. Height 150-200cm (59-79″); spread 30-40cm (12-16″).
Growing Information
Sow in a propagator on a windowsill or one seed per 5cm pot in a greenhouse at approximately 18-21 degrees using a good quality compost. Cover seeds with 2.5cm of compost (germination 7-14 days). Grow on carefully planting out when the risk of frost has passed, allowing 40cm between plants each way in a block pattern to aid pollination. Can also be sown directly outside, 2 seeds per station, thinning to the strongest seedling.
