No other early yellow corn combines a large 9" ear and great cool-soil vigor with Sh2 sweetness. Plant corn in blocks at least four rows wide for cross-pollination and well-filled ears. Plants grow to 5 high. For the best flavor, isolate Northern Xtra-Sweet from non-Sh varieties to stop cross-pollination. A packet contains 200 seeds, enough to plant four 15 ft. rows. Seeds are not treated.
F1 Hybrid
An F1 hybrid is created by crossing two different parent plants to combine their best qualities.
