Corn Seed
This 6½’ “tall corn” classic produces 8″ ears with 14–18 rows of kernels. It holds its sweetness well, converting sugar to starch much more slowly- remaining up to four times sweeter even 48 hours after harvest. Avoid planting too early or where it may cross-pollinate with other corn. Freezes well.
