This variety produces 22cm (8.5") long cobs with 18-20 rows of white and gold kernels, each delivering two different flavors in every bite. The 2m (6') tall plants are highly productive, yielding very sweet and tender cobs. Ideal for the home gardener, Peaches and Cream corn seeds thrive in warm soil, ensuring excellent germination and growth.
Key Features:
- Mid-Season Bicolor Hybrid: Stunning cobs with a mix of white and gold kernels.
- Exceptional Flavor: Two distinct flavors in each bite, perfect for gourmet dishes.
- High Productivity: Tall plants with abundant 22cm (8.5") ears.
- Quick Maturity: Ready to harvest in just 70 days.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for fresh eating, canning, or freezing.
Growing Instructions:
- Season & Zone: Best grown in warm seasons with full sun exposure.
- Timing: Direct sow in late spring when soil temperature reaches 21°C (70°F). Seeds may rot if planted in cold soil. Use a soil thermometer to ensure proper planting conditions. If spring weather is cold, start seeds indoors with bottom heat for transplanting.
- Starting: Do not soak seeds before planting. Plant seeds 2-5cm (1-2") deep, 7.5cm (3") apart, in rows 60-90cm (24-36") apart. Plant in dense blocks of at least 4 rows for optimal wind pollination.
Growing Tips:
- Soil Requirements: Ideal pH is 5.8-6.8. Enrich soil with manure or compost and mix 500g (1 lb) of complete organic fertilizer per 6m (60') of row.
- Watering: Maintain consistent moisture until plants are knee-high, then reduce watering.
- Maintenance: Thin seedlings to 20-25cm (8-10") apart. For larger eared varieties, space 30cm (24") apart. Keep the area free of weeds until the plants are well established.
Harvesting:
- Optimal Harvest: Ears are ready when silks turn dry brown, the cob starts to droop, and kernels release milky juice when cut.
Pests & Diseases:
- Prevent Disease: Use a 4-year crop rotation and compost old stalks to prevent soil exhaustion.
- Pests: Protect against wireworms, loopers, and seed corn maggots. Plant in warm soil or use predatory nematodes to prevent seed damage.
Companion Planting:
- Beneficial Companions: Plant with beans, beets, cucumber, dill, melons, parsley, peas, potatoes, soybeans, squash, and sunflowers. Avoid planting next to celery or tomatoes. Amaranth can be used as a mulch between rows to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
