A Garden Favorite for Tender, Long-Lasting Sweetness
Discover the delightful Sweet Bicolor Corn, an instant favorite among gardeners and corn enthusiasts alike. This outstanding variety matures in just 75 days, offering gardeners a relatively quick turnaround from planting to harvest. Known for its tender kernels and long-lasting sweetness, this corn variety produces slender 8-inch ears that are perfect for backyard barbecues, family dinners, and farmers’ markets.
Sweet Bicolor Corn offers the best of both worlds, combining the rich, traditional flavor of yellow corn with the delicate sweetness of white corn. Its bicolor kernels not only provide a visually appealing contrast but also deliver a complex flavor profile that’s sure to please even the most discerning palates. The extended sweetness retention of this variety means you can enjoy farm-fresh taste even days after harvesting.
This corn variety grows into impressive plants, reaching heights of 6 to 7 feet. When planted with proper spacing of 12 to 15 inches between plants, Sweet Bicolor Corn develops strong stalks that support the weight of its bountiful ears. The tall plants create a beautiful backdrop in any vegetable garden, adding vertical interest while providing a generous harvest of delicious corn.
Growing Success Tips:
- Plant in full sun after the last frost date for optimal growth
- Ensure consistent moisture, especially during tasseling and ear formation
- Fertilize regularly with a balanced, nitrogen-rich fertilizer
- Harvest when kernels are plump and exude a milky substance when punctured
Sweet Bicolor Corn is an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to experience the incomparable taste of freshly harvested corn. Its exceptional flavor, coupled with its reliable performance, makes it a valuable addition to any vegetable plot or small-scale farm.
For maximum pollination and fuller ears, plant corn in blocks of at least four rows rather than long single rows.
