Yellowstone Hybrid Sweet Corn Seeds (sh2) - Supersweet Garden Variety

Yellowstone Hybrid Sweet Corn (sh2) Overview

The Yellowstone Hybrid Sweet Corn is a supersweet (sh2) variety engineered for gardeners seeking reliable performance and high sugar content. This hybrid is characterized by its ability to maintain sweetness longer after harvest compared to standard varieties, making it a functional choice for fresh consumption.

Cultivation and Planting Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance, plant these seeds in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. As an sh2 variety, it is essential to isolate this corn from other corn types (such as sugary or field corn) by at least 250 feet or by planting time intervals of 14 days to prevent cross-pollination, which can affect kernel texture and sweetness.

Harvest and Management

• Soil Temperature: Plant when soil temperatures reach a minimum of 65°F (18°C) to support vigorous germination.
• Planting Density: Maintain 8-12 inches of spacing between plants within rows, with 30-36 inches between rows to ensure adequate airflow and pest management.
• Harvest Timing: Monitor silk browning and kernel development. The corn is typically ready for harvest 18-22 days after the first silks appear, when kernels are filled with milky liquid.
