Sweet Corn Miracle F1
Sweet corn was grown by several Native American tribes, who passed it onto European settlers. A naturally occurring ‘sugary enhanced’ gene produces very sweet, tender, large cobs with lots of fine kernels per cob. Enjoy steamed or add to stews, rice, risottos, soups and pasta.
| How To Grow | Sow 2.5cm (1in) deep into growing position, a sunny position that offers shelter from strong winds. Cover in fine soil and firm down gently. Keep moist.
