Corn, Sweet Honey Select F1

2001 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Honey Select has proven its delicious sweet honey flavor and tender eating quality in trials across North America. The only reason to grow your own sweet corn is flavor and Honey Select has flavor and ease of growing. A TripleSweet variety, Honey Select ears are 75% sugary enhanced (se) and 25% supersweet (sh2) kernels. Unlike a super sweet type, Honey Select does not require isolation from other corn pollen. Maturing in about 79 days, gardeners will find yellow Honey Select ears about 8 inches long. Mature ears can be harvested over a longer time without loss of eating quality due to the supersweet kernels slowing the conversion of sugar to starch.

  1. Timothy W Dodge – 07/27/2018

    My brother and I have grown more varieties of Sweet Corn over the years than we can possibly remember. There have been some great ones but not one variety, in our opinion, can top Honey Select. It’s germination, disease resistance are excellent and most important the taste and texture are absolutely outstanding. We do not sell our sweet corn but liberally give it out to family and friends who consistently beg us to grow Honey Select the next year. You will not be disappointed if you decide to give this variety a try.
