How to grow Sweet corn 'Festivity'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Festivity is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Festivity needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Festivity from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Festivity about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Festivity

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Festivity is a tender plant.
