Sugar Buns is the earliest gourmet type in our trials. It is delightfully tender with a rich, creamy sweetness packed into 14 rows of yellow kernels on a slim, 19cm (7 1/2") ear. Two ears grow on each sturdy, 1.8m (6') plant. Sugar Buns freezes well, maintaining its sweetness. 70-80 days, F1.

  • Starting
    Do not soak corn seeds prior to planting. Plant 2-5cm (1-2″) deep (shallower for sh2 seed or in cool soil). Sow seeds around 7.5cm (3″) apart, in rows 60-90cm (24-36″) apart. Because corn is wind pollinated, plant in a dense block of at least 4 rows, rather than in single rows. This increases the chance of corn pollen, which emerges from male flowers at the growing tip, to fall down onto the receptive female silks that extend from each corn cob.
  • Growing
    Ideal pH: 5.8-6.8. Corn is a heavy feeder, so add manure or compost, and use 500g (1 lb) of complete organic fertilizer per 6m (60′) of row, mixing it thoroughly into the soil beneath each seed furrow. Thin to at least 20-25cm (8-10″) apart in the row. Large eared and double-eared varieties need to be 30cm (24″) apart. Keep free of weeds until knee-high, and then leave it alone.
    Use the days to maturity listed for comparative purposes among the varieties only – every garden may be different.
