Honey Select Sweet Corn is a standout sweet corn variety known for its tender texture, extra-large ears, and rich sweetness that holds well after harvest. It’s the kind of corn that feels especially rewarding to grow, classic summer eating with generous ears and great flavor straight from the garden.
These impressive ears can reach up to 9 inches long and bring both strong garden performance and excellent eating quality. For backyard growers, it’s a reliable warm-season crop that earns its place quickly once the ears start filling out.
Sweet corn has a long history in North America and was shared by Indigenous peoples with early settlers in the Northeast. Today, it remains one of the most satisfying crops to grow at home, especially when planted in blocks for full, well-filled ears.
Planting Tips:
- Start: Direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed to at least 60°F
- Depth: 1″ deep
- Spacing: 8–12″ apart
- Germination: 5–7 days
- Light: Full sun
- Soil: Rich, well-draining soil
Keep plants evenly watered and mulch to help suppress weeds, since corn does not compete well early on. Plant in short blocks rather than one long row to improve pollination and help the ears fill out well. Harvest when ears feel full and the silks have dried down, usually around 79 days.
A great choice for gardeners who want big, sweet ears with classic summer flavor. Perfect for fresh eating, grilling, and bringing straight from the garden to the table.
