Growing Instructions

Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors 1" deep after danger of frost has passed. For good pollination and full ears, plant in blocks of 3-6 rows instead of one long row. Thin seedlings to 8" apart. Corn is a heavy feeder and does best in well-drained fertile soil with plenty of water.

  • Germination: 4-21 Days
  • Rows Apart: 36-48"
  • Light: Full Sun

Robust, idiotproof, rewarding grinding corn

by

Highly recommend! It stayed standing after the tropical storm that flattened my other corn varieties, and has the best resistance to pests and diseases that I’ve yet seen. The kernels fill well and are easy to save for seed.
