Sweet Corn, Silver Queen White Hybrid, Treated
(su) (88 Day) Uniform 8" ears hold 14-16 rows of sweet, tender, snow-white kernels. Its superb quality holds for several days on the plant. Hefty 8' stalks are tolerant to Stewart's wilt and most leaf blights. Treated seed.
Normal (su) sweet corn varieties offer old-fashioned, mildly sweet flavor. The sugars in the kernels convert to starch more rapidly than other types, so they must be used quickly once mature. Isolate from sh2 and sh2-A sweet corn varieties as well as field corn, ornamental corn and popcorn varieties. For home gardens, stagger plantings at least 14 days apart. For acre-sized and larger plantings, space 250' apart.
When planting a combination of su, se and se/sh2 sweet corn varieties, for best results, select varieties with varying maturity dates to avoid cross-pollination.
