I grow this excellent, tried and tested, mid-season 'super sweet' variety with a good yield of long, uniform cobs
It's also a very ornamental plant, which looks good with tall, luscious, grass-like leaves, in any part of the garden.
Direct sow Cobra beans at the base of your sweetcorn plants and you will double your production from the same space.
