84 days Honey & Cream Hybrid Sweet Corn is a tasty bicolor combines the creaminess of white, the sweet goodness of yellow. Blunt ended 7 1/2- to 8-inch ears, filled with broad, deep kernels. Perfect for canning and freezing, too. The plant has 7 1/2- to 8 ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. Honey and Cream allows gardeners with small plots or gardeners in northern climates to enjoy this wonderful flavor.
