In regions with short growing seasons, start indoors two plants per cell 2-4 weeks before last frost, plant out 0–2 weeks after frost. Some soak seeds in water tepid for an hour or two before planting. If cool and wet, plant shallow 1 to 1-1\/2”. If hot and dry plant 2–3”. Plant in blocks to ensure the best wind pollination.

It has a longer harvest window and is notably sweeter than other open-pollinated sweet corns. Plants are 6’ tall, with two 2 long ears each, and are selected for organic production without high fertility input, making them vigorously resilient. This is an Open Source Seed Initiative variety.
