Sweetcorn earlibird is an excellent early variety with strong emergence and vigour. Produces high quality cobs, typically 20-22cm in length. A supersweet hybrid with a possibility to produce 3 cobs per plant in ideal conditions.
Sow the earlibird sweetcorn seeds indoors in early spring or outdoors in May until early June, 6-8 seeds per square metre, 2-3cm deep. Sow every fortnight to extend production. Sow the seeds in small pots, seedcells. Transplant the sweetcorn seedlings outside when about 20 cm tall and all risk of frost has passed in your area.
Sweetcorn plants need a rich, well drained soil. Keep watering in hot, dry spells, especially when flowering.
