Zea mays

Enjoy bright yellow 20cm cobs bursting with plump, golden kernels that show good tolerance to rust even in damp conditions. Plant in blocks to aid pollination and avoid planting with other sweetcorn varieties.

Growing calendar
Sowing & growing
Sow inside Mar-May, 3-4cm deep in pots or modules of seed compost and water well. Germinates at 18-30°C. Acclimatise seedlings to outdoor conditions, and plant out 60cm apart, once risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, sow directly outside in June once soil is warm enough. Sow 2 seeds together and thin to strongest seedling.
Aftercare
Plants may need staking if growing in an exposed position. Protect young plants on cold nights with cloches.
