Product Description
Sweet corn so delightfully sweet and full-flavored you just Gotta Have It! At Gardens Alive!®, we extensively test (and when applicable, taste test) every plant we offer. Gotta Have It is one of the sweetest, most delicious sweet corn we've encountered, with a longer window of harvest compared to most sweet corn varieties. The tender kernels keep well for over three weeks in the refrigerator and taste like fresh-picked corn even when frozen and enjoyed in the winter! The stalks are shorter than average, but as sturdy as field corn. They'll hold up well against diseases as well as the elements. If spaced far enough apart, the stalks produce up to three ears per stalk, making it a very productive variety. Our seeds have been specially treated so that they'll germinate faster and healthier, reducing the need for sprays and producing a higher yield. For optimal germination, plant the seed only after the soil temperatures have reached at least 65°F. This high-yielding sweet corn can be planted alongside other sh2 varieties. Augmented Shrunken. Isolate (250-300 ft. or 3+ weeks maturity time) from all se and su varieties. 78 days to maturity.
