Product Information

Silver Queen Hybrid Sweet Corn is a late-season, tender, and widely recognized white corn variety.

Famous for its sweet taste and tender texture, Silver Queen Hybrid Sweet Corn is a top performer during late-season harvests.

A standard for decades, this corn plant grows to seven to eight feet tall and bears eight-inch, slightly tapered ears with fourteen to sixteen rows of kernels in tight husks filled to the tip!

A trusted favorite of farmers and home gardeners, it's easy to grow and features sweet, plump kernels that make you smile—tolerant of Stewart's Wilt and Northern Corn Leaf Blight.

Available in standard-sized seed packets here.

Suggestions

For better ear fill, plant a number of short rows together instead of a single long row. This helps ensure pollination. For plenty of corn all season, plant early and late varieties.
