Description

Modern breeding of this increasingly popular variety has produced an extra tender cob with a fabulous taste, whether eaten raw from the plant, barbequed or steamed. Children in particular will love this ‘snack-sized’ cob - 15cm (6in) long with good tip fill and 16 rows of grains. Good plant vigour is useful under poorer soil conditions.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seed 4cm (11/2in) deep in 7cm (3in) pots of seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at 18-20C (64-68F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.

Growing Instructions

Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Keep well watered and mulch during dry periods. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed, sow two seeds, 4cm (11/2in) deep, 30cm (12in) apart, and in rows about 45cm (18in) apart.
