Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds individually in pots of moist fine compost. Lightly cover with compost and maintain warmth until seedlings emerge. Transplant outdoors after frost into prepared beds, spacing plants 30cm apart in blocks for effective pollination. For direct sowing, place seeds 2cm deep in soil once conditions are warm.

 

Grow & Maintenance

Grow in fertile soil with regular watering. Sweet corn thrives in sunny sites and benefits from mulching to retain moisture. Plant in blocks rather than rows to ensure good pollination. Protect young plants from slugs and late frosts.
