Corn, Sweet Honey ‘N Pearl
This early-maturing, tender bi-color of outstanding eating quality is one of the finest Super Sweets you will ever grow or eat! Honey ‘N Pearl is specially bred to contain twice the sugar of regular sweet corn and retains its flavor and tenderness up to 2 weeks longer than regular Sweets. The ears are very tightly husked with 16-18 rows of white and yellow kernels that are symmetrical, tightly packed and plump.
