Description

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.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Prefers a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Keep well-watered during hot, dry spells. Tall varieties or those planted in exposed sites may requite staking.
