Growing Instructions:
Direct sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Corn grows best in full sun, warm weather, fertile soil, and consistent moisture.
Plant seeds 1–2 inches deep. Sow seeds about 5 inches apart, then thin seedlings to about 10 inches apart once established. Space rows about 24 inches apart.
For better pollination and fuller ears, plant corn in blocks of several short rows instead of one long single row. Corn is wind-pollinated, so block planting helps improve kernel development.
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water regularly during dry weather, especially when plants are tasseling, silking, and forming ears.
Harvest:
Harvest when ears are full and kernels are developed. For best eating quality, enjoy fresh after harvest. White waxy corn is especially delicious boiled or steamed.
