This deliciously sweet bi-color corn is as pretty on the table as it is on the stalk. The ears of corn are a nice mix of white and yellow kernels and measure 8.5 long with 14-18 rows of kernels. This is a good variety for the home garden and is best planted in double rows to achieve optimum pollination. With an extended harvest time and a sweet taste, it is sure to be a garden favorite.
This sweet corn lives up to its name–it’s Fantastic! It’s the sweetest bi-color corn there is. It’s tender and full of rich corn flavor. 6′ tall plants produce large 8″ ears filled with 16-18 straight well-filled rows of bicolored kernels that almost melt in your mouth. The tight husk protects the ear until it is ready to eat. Fantastic Sweet Corn is a delicious early-to-midsummer treat.

My entire family enjoys the simple pleasure of growing our own flavorful popcorn! The hot popped kernels will have delicious flavor and tenderness with a fluffy shape and good color. This plant boasts good stalk strength, grain color, and successful popping. Popcorn can cross-pollinate with other varieties of sweet corn, so plant them at least 14 days apart. Plant your corn in blocks or rows of 4 or more to ensure good pollination. Leave your popcorn in the garden until the stalks are brown, the husks are dry, and the kernels are hard. Twist and snap each ear from the stalk before the first frost, then strip away the dried husks from each ear of corn. Hang or spread the ears out in a warm, dry location with good air circulation for 4 weeks to cure. The kernels are ready for storage when they can easily be twisted or rubbed from the cob. The kernels keep up to 3 years in airtight containers. Pop your homegrown popcorn on the stovetop or your usual, favorite way.
Super Sweet is a real sweet treat. The seed kernels are smaller, lighter in weight, and have a shrunken appearance. The texture is crispy rather than creamy. The shrunken kernels greatly increase the sweetness and slow the conversion of starch. Because of the slower conversion of sugars to starch after harvest, it can be stored 7-10 days. Adequate soil moisture is critical for plants to form tassels, silks, and to develop ears. Ears should be ready to harvest about 3 weeks after silk emergence.
