HOW TO GROW
Normal corn culture, direct sowing. Ideally corn should be isolated from other sweet corn by 700 feet for best development of kernel color. However, 500 feet is usually adequate or 14 day difference maturity dates. In addition, most supersweets should be planted when soil temperatures have warmed to 60 degrees to ensure a good uniform stand.
