Temptress Sweet Corn Seeds
Seed treated with fungicide
About- Temptress is your early choice for the Quad Sweets as it has strong emergence and a sturdy plant. The consistency of Temptress is impressive for its early maturity, it has strong tip fill, good husk protection and even rowing on good size ears while still boosting the superb eating quality of the QuadSweets. Must be isolated from supersweet (Sh2) varieties.
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 insure 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.
