Product Description

Improved quality over other varieties
Excellent vigor
Ideal for canning, freezing, fresh eating

Start sweet corn season off right with this exceptionally flavorful and attractive variety. Sweetness Hybrid Sweet Corn is a drastic improvement in eating quality over older early varieties such as Northern Extra-Sweet Bicolor. It produces gorgeous, bicolored, 8 in. ears with solid tip fill. The tender-crisp kernels have a high sugar content and are slow to convert sugars to starches. While ideal for eating fresh, Sweetness is also good for canning and freezing. This early variety has excellent emergence and plant vigor, along with sturdy stalks and protective husks. For best results, sow seeds after the soil has warmed to 65 degrees F and all danger of frost has passed. 68 DAYS.
