Product Information Chevron Down Chevron Forward

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

This variety is prized for its sweet flavor and excellent texture, making it a popular choice among gardeners and chefs.

A standard for decades, this 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. And the best part is that it tolerates Stewart's Wilt and Northern Corn Leaf Blight!

Planting Depth: 1 - 1.5"

Seed Spacing: Sow Hybrid Silver Queen Sweet Corn seeds roughly 12" apart, keeping rows approximately 3' apart.

Suggestions Chevron Down Chevron Forward

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.
