Sweet Bicolor Corn excels in versatility and taste. Its tender kernels burst with a perfect blend of sugars, providing a satisfying crunch and juicy bite that’s ideal for fresh eating, grilling, or incorporating into summer salads. The bicolor appearance not only adds visual appeal to your plate but also signifies a harmonious mix of flavors inherited from both white and yellow corn varieties. This corn maintains its sweetness longer than traditional varieties, ensuring a delectable taste even days after harvest.
Growing to an impressive height of 6-7 feet, Sweet Bicolor Corn creates a stunning vertical element in your garden. Plant seeds 12-15 inches apart to allow ample space for robust growth and optimal ear development. Each stalk typically produces one to two full-sized ears, with the potential for additional smaller ears. The 75-day maturation period from planting to harvest ensures a relatively quick turnaround, perfect for gardeners looking for a rewarding mid-season crop.
Growing Success Tips:
- Plant in blocks of at least four rows to ensure proper pollination
- Provide consistent moisture, especially during tasseling and ear formation
- Apply a balanced fertilizer when plants reach knee-height
- Harvest when kernels are plump and exude a milky substance when punctured
Sweet Bicolor Corn offers an unparalleled combination of flavor, appearance, and garden performance. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer or a backyard gardener, this variety promises a bountiful harvest of delicious, visually appealing corn that will be the highlight of your summer meals.
