The most productive, reliable, and colorful cobs grown in my garden from the Ozark Strain, the Mendon strain, and the F5 Pekin Strain of Astronomy Domine. Multicolored: Red, gray, yellow, white, purple, orange, etc. Old fashioned (not extra sugary) sweet corn landrace. Chewy. Flavorful. This is my most reliable and productive sweet corn year after year. Good tolerance for cold soil.

    Astronomy Domine is the most reliable sweet corn I have ever grown. It germinates reliably in cold wet spring soil and produces an abundant crop of great looking colorful cobs.
