Plants of this early season sweetcorn variety boast a strong root system and sturdy stems; many plants will produce 2 fully mature, heavy cobs of about 23cm (9in) in length. Cobs will be ready to harvest earlier than many other sweetcorn varieties, usually from August to September.Sow individually, 2cm (¾in) deep in 5cm (2in) pots of good seed compost to avoid root disturbance. Sow at 25°C (77°F) under glass or in a propagator. Can also be sown direct outside in warm soil May to early June.Grow on steadily and gradually harden off prior to planting out from late May, or once frost risk has passed. Grow in a block for best pollination, allowing 38cm (15in) between plants each way. For optimum performance, we suggest planting through black plastic for extra warmth.
