Hybrid SE Sweet Corn. Ready to harvest in 75 days. An amazing new sweet corn color it's really red! You won't believe how appetizing a red corn can be until you see it on your plate, then bite into the extra-sweet, tender kernels. You can enjoy Ruby Queen at two stages. Pick it when it's blush-red for maximum SE sweetness. Or let it ripen to full red so it can develop its rich, old-fashioned corn flavor. The meaty ears are 8" long with 18 rows of juicy, very tender kernels. Plants are 7' tall and often bear 2 ears apiece. No need to isolate from other corns, but we suggest that you grow another SE variety with Ruby Queen to help with pollination. Steaming or microwaving are the best cooking methods for enhancing the delectable color. An added bonus the red tassels and stalks make fantastic autumn decorations. Grow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. This is an extra sweet, tender variety that is very flavorful! Best when picked when it is blush red for maximum sweetness. Or you can let it ripen to full red so it can develop its rich, old fashioned flavor. Go to table of corn varieties
