Where to Sow Amaize Sweet Corn Seeds

Early sowings can be made into pots or modules under glass at 21°C. Later sowings can be made direct into growing site, sowing 2 seeds per sowing station. Do not sow as a single row, sow in blocks spacing as detailed below.

What to do Next

Pot raised seedlings should be gradually hardened off in a cold frame before  transplanting into the plot once all risk of frost has passed. Do not plant in rows, but plant in blocks, spacing plants 45cm (18") apart each way to aid pollination by wind.

Handy Tip

Cobs are ready to harvest when the end tassels turn brown. Delicious eaten straight from the plant or cooked with a little melted butter.
