How to grow Sweet corn 'Supersweet'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Supersweet likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Supersweet is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Supersweet needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Supersweet from seed

Look to ensure a distance 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Supersweet

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