Illusion White Sweet Corn Seeds
Seed treated with fungicide
About- If you are looking for an early white sweet corn with excellent eating quality, this variety is no Illusion. You can expect 8" ears with dark green husk and strong tip fill. This sweet corn variety was a big hit at our summer trials in Lancaster.
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 one 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.
