Sweet corn 'Sugar Dots'

For better pollination, plant short rows together instead of a single, long row.

Sugar Dots likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Sugar Dots 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. Sugar Dots requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

direct sow after all danger of frost is past and soil is warm
plant 1 seed every 4 inches in rows 3 feet apart
7-10 days germination
plant 1 – 1 1/2" deep
thin to 1 plant every 12" when plants are 4" tall
80 days to harvest

For better pollination, plant short rows together instead of a single, long row.

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in late summer.
