Hybrid Corn Seeds for Early Sunglow (su) - Non-GMO

The package contains 20 grams, approximately 120 Early Sunglow Hybrid (su) Corn Seeds, which have a germination period of 6 to 12 days at a temperature range of 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The Early Sunglow Hybrid (su) Corn is well-suited for shorter growing seasons, producing ears of plump yellow corn that grow 6 to 7 inches long on 4-foot tall stalks.

Planting, Growing, and Harvesting: To plant the corn, the seeds should be sown 2 inches deep, with 12 inches between plants and 30 to 36 inches between rows. Corn requires plenty of space, so it should be planted in an area where other plants will not be overshadowed. Corn will grow tall and require ample nutrients from the soil, so it is recommended to plant the seeds in rows or blocks to facilitate pollination, which occurs through wind.

Corn plants will need full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil. It is important to note that corn can cross-pollinate with other varieties, which can negatively impact the sweetness of the corn crop. To mitigate this, it is advised to isolate the corn for best results.

Regarding the harvesting of the corn, look for ears that appear plump and have brown, dried silk. Gently pull back the husk to check the kernels, which should produce a milky liquid when poked with a fingernail. Before pulling the ear off the stalk, ensure that the stalk is secured and steady to avoid damaging the plant. Each plant generally produces 1 to 3 ears.

Corn is a warm-season vegetable that is a favorite during the summer and a staple for barbecues and outdoor gatherings. It can have kernels that are white, yellow, or bicolor (a mixture of both). Gardeners can enjoy growing and eating corn that is especially sweet, such as sugary enhanced and supersweet varieties, or regular corn, depending on their preference for sweetness and taste.
