| 82 days. A classic variety much beloved by home gardeners, Seneca Chief is a yellow Regular Sweet corn with long, slender ears filled with tasty kernels in 12 to 16 rows. The 8 1/2-inch ears arise on massive 7-foot stalks and are superb for whole-ear freezing. The flavor is tender, succulent, and sweet! 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 100 seeds. Cannot ship seed to CN. |
