Zea Mays

These sugary sparkling white kernels have melt in your mouth flavor! SugarPearl is a Tablesweet ® variety that is sweeter and holds its sweetness longer than most other sweet corn. If you love white corn, nothing beats its flavor and snow white color! Bred and grown on the Western Slope of Colorado, SugarPearl is a sugary-enhanced (su) sweet corn that holds its flavor longer than other varieties. No need to get the pot boiling before you go out and pick! SugarPearl holds its sweetness for a few days after harvesting. Make room in your garden for this one – you can’t buy it fresh in any grocery store!

 

When to plant outside: Spring, a week or two after average last frost, and when soil is warm (60-65 degrees).

 

When to start inside: Corn seed does not transplant well. Sowing directly outside is recommended.

 

Special Sowing and Germination Instructions: Corn is easy to grow from seed. For best results, provide optimal germination conditions in your garden including ½” planting depth and warm soil. Since pollination occurs from wind, seed should be planted in blocks. Sow 6” apart and thin to 1’ apart. This (su) variety does not need to be separated from (se) types.
