How to grow Sweet corn 'Dorinny'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Dorinny 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. Ensure your soil is loamy and clay and has a ph of between 6.5 and 7.5 as Sweet corn is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Growing Dorinny from seed

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Dorinny about 10 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Dorinny

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