Corn

All sweet corn kernels contain glucose, but some are bred to stay sweet longer after picking than others. However, for home gardeners who will pick and eat the same day, flavour and ease of culture should be the most important characteristics when choosing a variety. (Family: Grass Poaceae)

 
How To Grow Corn
Bodacious

Bodacious

Bodacious ears are large at 20cm (8") and very sweet and tender. The husk is an attractive dark-green colour and kernels are yellow. This variety is highly recommended for premium corn-on-the-cob or freezing. Matures in 80 to 90 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.49 CA  

Brocade

Brocade

Slightly later to mature than Luscious, Brocade is a taller plant (2m, 80") with higher ear height. This makes such a difference when picking long rows in the field, as does the ease with which the cobs snap off the plant! The big yellow and white kernels are rich tasting and hold their sweetness for a long time in the refrigerator. Matures in 83 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.69 CA  

Calico Popcorn

Calico Popcorn

Tiny kernels dot these 15cm (6"), multicoloured cobs and are unique colours - yellow, brown, white, purple, red, calico, and blue! Use for popcorn, decorations or gifts. Start these big but slow growing plants early so the cobs mature properly. Matures in 90 to 105 days. (open pollinated seeds)
From : $ 3.29 CA  

Double Up

Double Up

Double Up is a supersweet bi-colour that seems to have better cold soil emergence and shallower kernels than Sweet Tooth. There are 14-16 rows on big 20cm (8") cobs that are packed with super sweet flavour that holds well after harvest. Matures in 82 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.79 CA  

Golden Bantam

Golden Bantam

This old-fashioned HERITAGE variety produces 8 rows of large, yellow kernels on 12-18cm (5-7") cobs. Plants grow 1.5-2m (5') tall. Golden Bantam's old-fashioned corn taste is fantastic for fresh eating or freezing on the day it is picked. Isolate it at least 150m (500') from other corn if you save seed. Matures in 85 to 95 days. (open pollinated seeds)
From : $ 2.99 CA  

Golden Jubilee

Golden Jubilee

Golden Jubilee is the highest-yielding, main-crop variety for canning or freezing. The tall plants bear 20-25cm (81/2-9") ears that have 16-20 rows of deep, sweet, yellow kernels with a rich corn flavour. Matures in 95 to 105 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 2.99 CA  

Jubilee Super Sweet

Jubilee Super Sweet

Jubilee Super Sweet combines the eating quality of hybrid sweet (su) with the extra sweetness of a super sweet. Tall 2.4m (8') plants yield 20-23cm (8-9") ears with 18 rows of yellow kernels. We found it incredibly sweet with a very deep yellow colour. Matures in 85 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.95 CA  

Luscious

Luscious

This is the ideal bicolour (yellow and white kernels) on a 2m (5') tall plant. The kernels are tender and the ears will hold their sweetness for two weeks after harvest if they are properly cooled and refrigerated. Luscious is a tablesweet (TR) variety, which are sugary corns bred conventionally from a South American heritage variety for enhanced sweetness. The big, blunt 20cm (8") cobs are well wrapped, have 16 rows, and form high on the tall plants for ease of picking. Matures in 80 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.49 CA  

Luscious certified organic

CERTIFIED ORGANIC. This is the ideal bicolour (yellow and white kernels) on a 2m (5') tall plant.

Miracle

Miracle

This gourmet sweet yellow corn has a true corn taste. The texture and crunch are reminiscent of earlier varieties. Refined golden yellow kernels (20 rows in a cob) line a long cob 24 cm (9.5") held 60cm (24") high on a 94cm (7.8') tall plant. Matures in 84 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.99 CA  

Pink Popcorn

Pink Popcorn

This early-maturing popcorn has 1.5m tall plants with 2 ears, 13-15cm (5-6") long. It makes for excellent popping corn that yields lots of fluffy white kernels with a great rich flavour. The beautiful pink to mauve kernels are attractive for decoration. Visit our website ww.westcoastseeds.com for harvesting methods and ideas. Matures in 85 days. (open pollinated seeds)
From : $ 2.99 CA  

Seneca Horizon

Seneca Horizon

The very best for cool summer locations, this variety has the appearance and fine eating quality of later maturing varieties. Short 1.75m (51/2') plants produce one short, plump ear that is filled to the tip with tender, yellow kernels and old-fashioned corn taste. Matures in 70 to 80 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 2.99 CA  

Serendipity

Serendipity

Serendipit is a new bicolour with the very best characteristics of the super sweets: it is slow to get starchy after it is picked and it has the tender sweet kernels of the sugary enhanced (SE) types. Kernels run in 16-18 rows, on a slender 0.05m, 0.20m long, with a mid-green husk colour. The tender kernels probably cannot handle machine harvest so this variety can only be hand picked, for great taste at the roadside stand or your garden. A very tall plant, it holds the cobs up for easy picking. Matures in 82 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.29 CA  

Sugar Buns

Sugar Buns

Sugar Buns is the earliest gourmet SE/se type in our trials. It is delightfully tender with a rich, creamy sweetness packed in fourteen rows of tender, yellow kernels on a slim, 19cm (71/2") ear. Two ears grow on each sturdy, 1.5-2m (5-51/2') plant. Sugar Buns freezes well. Matures in 70 to 80 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.69 CA  

Sugar Pearl

Sugar Pearl

These shiny white pearls are bursting with sweetness. Nicely wrapped 20cm (8") cobs have 14-16 rows. They are easy to pick from tall plants. TSW. Matures in 78 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 3.29 CA
