Vegetable
- Cropping: Harvest mid August to September.
Description: A mid-season supersweet type, which produces large cobs of 20-23cm (8-9in) long, filled to the tip with 12-14 rows of delicious kernels with a delicious sugar-sweet flavour. Vigorous plants give impressive crops.
Sowing Instructions: Sow individually, 2cm (¾in) deep in 5cm (2in) pots of good seed compost to avoid root disturbance. Sow at 15C (59F) under glass or in a propagator. Can also be sown direct outside in warm soil from mid May.
Growing Instructions: Grow on steadily and gradually harden off prior to planting out from late May, or once frost risk has passed. Grow in a block for best pollination, allowing 38cm (15in) between plants each way.
Aftercare Instructions: Prefers a fertile soil in full sun.
