Cafe Hybrid Corn combines the sweet, creamy flavour characteristic of SE types with the higher sugar content and extended harvest window of SH2 types. This exceptional hybrid is less sensitive to cold soil conditions than traditional SH2 varieties, making it a reliable choice for Canadian gardens. With the ability to produce an abundant harvest, it’s a great addition for those looking to enjoy fresh corn for an extended period throughout the growing season.
