Butter & Sugar Sweet Corn Seeds
Seed treated with fungicide
About- Old fashioned flavor and tender kernels make this variety a popular bicolor sweet corn. Butter & Sugar, with its excellent seedling vigor can be started earlier than most varieties. Ears average 7 inches and are packed with 14 rows of tasty kernels. Best if picked and cooked the same day.
When and Where to Plant- Select a sunny location and plant when all danger of frost is past and the soil has warmed. For best results, cultivate soil and fertilize with vegetable food. To ensure good pollination, sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side, rather than a long single row. For an extended harvest, plant every 3 weeks until early summer.
Care and Harvest- Grows best in soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Cultivate weekly or mulch between plants and rows to control weeds. Pick when silks turn brown and ears are firm. Test by piercing a few kernels with thumbnail. The skin should be tender and the juice should have a milky look to it. For the best eating experience, pick, prepare, cook and eat the same day.
