The Zea mays commonly known as Sweet Corn is a popular and delicious variety known for its large golden cobs and tender, sweet kernels.

 

The Latin name Zea mays refers to the corn plant, with zea meaning "grain" and mays deriving from the Taino word for corn. Sweet Corn Incredible F1 is a top-performing hybrid variety, renowned for its early maturity, high yields, and excellent flavour. It produces sweet, juicy kernels that are perfect for fresh eating, freezing, or grilling.

 

This tall, robust plant grows to a height of 180-200 cm and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun. Incredible F1 is a vigorous, early-maturing variety, producing multiple cobs per plant, each filled with tender, sweet kernels.

 

This variety is perfect for gardeners who want to grow their own sweet corn in areas with a shorter growing season, as it matures earlier than many other varieties.
