Illusion Hybrid (sy) White Sweet Corn: Seed from Gurneys

Illusion (sy) Synergistic Hybrid Sweet Corn

Early-Season White Variety

Sweet, bright white kernels with a tender-crisp texture grow on 7½-8 in. ears. This early sweet corn hybrid has excellent tip fill, dark green husks and long, attractive flag leaves. It's an excellent choice for market growers and home gardeners. Synergistic hybrids have a very high sugar content, tender-crisp texture and slow conversion of sugars to starches. When planting, isolate from super-sweet (sh2) and normal or high-sugar (su) hybrids. Seeds should be spaced 10-12 in. apart in rows 36 in. apart. For adequate pollination, plant in blocks of at least four rows. Approx. 250 seeds per packet. 72 DAYS.

This item ships in both Spring & Fall
