| 75 days. One of the heaviest-yielding regular Sweet hybrids available, Merit earns the loyalty of gardeners year after year! Its long, extra-large 8- to 9-inch ears boast up to 20 rows of bright yellow kernels, stuffed with flavor on 5-foot stalks. This is a classic variety that never fails to please! Less fussy about warm soil and heavy feeding than Super Sweet hybrids, Regular Sweet corn should be planted at least 400 feet from Super Sweets (they tend to reduce the flavor of Super Sweets if cross-pollinated). If this is not possible, sow the two types at least a month apart. Sow after last spring frost, when the soil is warm. Corn is famously easy to direct-sow in any sunny spot. To extend your corn harvest, make successive plantings weekly up to mid-July, or plant varieties with differing maturity dates. Pkt is 200 seeds. Cannot ship seed to CN. |
