An early-ripening sugar variety (60-100 days) of medium size. The cob is slightly cone-shaped, length of 8-10" (20-22 cm). The grain is yellow. The variety is resistant to lodging. Cooked cobs have a great taste. Used for canning purposes.
Planting instructions:
Plant seeds outdoors approximately two weeks after the last spring frost date. It’s important to get corn planted as soon as possible, since it requires a fairly long growing period with warm weather. Make sure the soil temperature is above 60°F (16°C) for successful germination. (Up to 65°F/18°C for super sweet varieties.) In colder zones, the ground can be warmed by a black plastic cover, if necessary. Plant seeds through holes in the plastic. A couple weeks after planting your first round of corn, plant another crop to extend the harvest. Corn plants are picky about their soil. Work in aged manure or compost the fall before planting and let it overwinter in the soil. The soil should be well-draining, but must be able to hold some moisture. Corn tends to use a lot of water. For sufficient pollination, plan your plot right. Instead of planting two long rows of corn, plant “blocks” of corn at least four rows deep. This ensures that the corn—which is pollinated by wind—has a greater chance of producing viable ears. Rows should be spaced 30 to 36 inches (80-90 cm) apart.
