Sweetcorn Snogold Bicolour F1 Hybrid

A super-sweet type of sweet corn which has a special gene that not only produces much higher sugar levels but also slows the conversion of sugar to starch. The slower breakdown and higher sugar levels gives it a longer shelf life after harvesting than traditional types. Snogold, with its two different coloured kernels, white and yellow running in the cob-rows, makes it easier to identify as a super-sweet type from the other types of corn.

Sweet corn requires warmth and moisture to make quick growth. A fertile soil in full sun should be prepared by digging-in compost and or cow manure and applying a complete fertilizer at a rate of 150g per square metre.

The soil should be regularly cultivated between the plants and rows as a measure of weed control and to build up soil around the plants until they are on a small hill. Protect young plants with a snail and slug bait.
