Zea mays

The Northern Extra Sweet Hybrid corn is the earliest supersweet variety available, producing large 8 in. cobs that are filled to the tip with sweet kernels. This hybrid showcases enhanced emergence and vigor, making it well-suited for cool, wet soil conditions. Its texture is “crunchier” than many other types, and it boasts a longer shelf life, making it an excellent choice for your garden.

Size: Mature cobs reach 8 in. in length, growing on tall stalks that typically stand around 5 to 6 ft.

Yield: This hybrid corn variety produces high yields, with cobs developing fully even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Taste: Exceptionally sweet kernels with a delightful crunch, offering a burst of flavor that makes this corn perfect for fresh eating.

How to use: Ideal for boiling, grilling, or incorporating into salads for a sweet touch. Enjoy it fresh off the cob or preserved for later use.

Planting tips: Sow when danger of hard frost has passed, in rows 36 in. apart, at a depth of 1.5 in. with 3 seeds per 12 in. of row. Corn prefers a soil temperature of at least 15C for optimal germination.

Harvest tips: Harvest cobs when they are plump and kernels are firm; look for vibrant green husks and tender, well-filled cobs for the best flavor.
