Sowing Indoors

Sow seeds individually in small pots of moist seed compost 1cm (1/2in) deep. Place in warmth 15-18C (60-65F). Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in bright sun.

Sowing Outdoors

Water sowing positions, then sow two seeds 2cm (1in) deep at stations 45cm (18in) apart each way. Keep soil moist until seedlings are well established.

When seedlings are around 8cm (3in) high, discard the weaker at each station and leave the stronger to develop. Do not transplant weaker seedlings - they do not thrive.

Hardening off / planting

Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passed.

To ensure good pollination, plant in blocks, allowing 45cm (18in) each way between plants.

Special note

Do not grow other varieties of sweet corn nearby, as they will cross pollinate with this variety.
