Zea mays

A dependable variety for both home and commercial growers, Honey & Cream Hybrid is a Normal Sugary (SU) bi-colour corn. It produces medium-sized, 18 cm long ears that are filled to the tip with 12-14 rows of sweet, buttery kernels. With a tight green husk that provides good coverage and is easy to pick, this corn is a classic and reliable favourite.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow

For a successful crop, plant sweet corn only when the soil has warmed to at least 18°C.

Planting: To ensure proper pollination, plant at least 3 to 4 rows. When planting in rows, space seeds 10-15 cm apart, later thinning to 20-30 cm apart. Rows should be spaced 55-75 cm apart. Alternatively, corn can be planted with 3 to 4 seeds per hill, in hills spaced 30 cm apart. Germination occurs in approximately 10 days.

Care: Work a good general vegetable fertilizer into the soil at planting, keep weeds under control, and ensure the soil is evenly watered throughout the season. Irrigation is essential.
