Zea mays
Days to Maturity: 75-85 days
An open-pollinated sweet corn variety that is bred by traditional plant breeder Jonathan Spreo in Oregon to be even sweeter and productive with 2 ears per plant. It has long, slender ears (~8 inches in length) with creamy white kernels. Known for its high sugar content and tender texture, it is a flavorful choice for fresh eating, roasting, or freezing.
Planting Instructions: Direct sow seeds in after all danger of frost has passed 1" deep and 8-12" apart. Plant in blocks to ensure ears are wind-pollinated. Harvest ears as husks turn brown.
Seed Saving Instructions: Allow corn to fully mature on stalks until kernels are hard and dry. Shuck (remove leaves) and allow kernels to dry further on the cob, up to a month. Remove seeds by hand or corn sheller. Store seeds in a paper or mesh bag in a cool, dark and dry location.
