Argent White likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Argent White is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.5 as Argent White likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Argent White from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) between Sweet corn plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Argent White

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