Each ear is populated with roughly 20 rows of tightly packed kernels, ranging in color from creamy yellow to golden yellow. The plants themselves are known to grow to a towering height of roughly 6 feet tall and can spread roughly 18 inches wide. Peaches and Cream is among one of our best sellers and is sought after for it's rich, sweet flavoring. The crops are ready for harvesting in roughly 80 to 85 days.
Grown as an annual crop, Peaches and Cream Corn will grow quickly from freshly harvested Zea mays seeds. The plants will produce their crops through the summer months and can be cut down afterwards. Check below for additional information on harvesting your Peaches and Cream Corn.
Interestingly enough, corn was never meant to thrive, let alone exist naturally in the world as we know it. It is a crop that can only survive and flourish, if protected by humans. Corn was believed to have been developed by humans in Mexico, over 7,000 years ago. It's distant relative is actually a wild grass, called "teosinte." The kernels of this distant relative were fairly spaced apart, but as humans bred corn through the years, we were able to produce the cobs, filled with tightly packed kernels, as seen in today's markets.
What are hybrids?
First and foremost, you should know that a hybrid is completely different than a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)
Hybrids are created when cross pollinating two vegetables of the same plant species. This process is completely natural and can be accomplished over many years. For instance, a bi-colored corn could be a cross between two separate corn varieties, one in which produces lighter yellow kernels and the other which produces golden yellow kernels. Other factors that breeders take into consideration is resistance to disease, flavor, days until harvest, etc.
Sowing The Seed
Corn isn’t fond of being transplanted, so it is best sown directly in the garden, when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Begin by tilling the sowing area, removing all unwanted plant life and weeds. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2” to 1” under topsoil. Check below for spacing.
Growing Conditions
Corn is a sun loving crop that prefers warmer temperatures of 65F or higher. The plants are picky when it comes to soil conditions, and will grow best in a medium that is nitrogen rich and loamy. You will also need to make sure that the sowing area is well drained. To improve drainage, we always recommend adding a light compost to any areas containing hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily until germination.
Germination & Growth
Corn will typically take anywhere between 7 to 14 days to germinate, if optimal conditions are met. The plants can grow to a towering, 6 feet tall and can spread about 18 inches wide. Corn can be spaced 12 to 15 inches apart from one another, in rows that are spaced about 30 to 36 inches apart.

100% germination rate ... one dropped in a planter half full that we used as a cigarette catcher. It germinated and is an inch and a half tall already ... from friday to wednesday . So I threw some more in it and they caught up quickly. The pick is after 13 days from the first drop. I did add an inch around the original and pushed the newer ones in an inch or so.

I grew a 20-plant plot of this corn in the Seattle area. Planted late June and harvested 90 days later in late September. Almost perfect pollination with minimal manual intervention. Delicious, much better than what we buy from the store. Most plants only produced one ear but I planted late and could definitely have started with richer soil and fertilized a bit more. I'm excited to grow even more of it next year.

Thought it might be fun to grow some corn in an outdoor garden this year. So I purchased these without knowing anything about growing corn. I put them in the soil about 2 to 4 inches down spaced out as suggested and with in a few days they started to sprout! They were knee-high by Fourth of July And now I have full stock of corn! How cool is that?

Never had corn that grew as nice as this. The deer really loved it as it came up. Replanted and told deer to go away. I was excited watching it grow and once ready the ears were perfect. However....it was tasteless, and it tasted more like the cob. Tossed the entire crop.

I wanted to wait until the seeds were growing before I wrote a review. I have such high hopes for these babies! I received the seeds very quickly but waited 10 days before planting them. On April 15th I planted 42 corn seeds in case some didn't sprout. By April 24th, 39 of the seeds had sprouted. There were 3 slow pokes, but those 3 all came up by May 5th, 3 weeks later; a total 42 plants. On May 2nd I planted Hybrid Cantalope below the corn since it's getting watered well & there is really no room in my raised bed garden for Cantalope to be planted. This is our favorite corn! These pics were taken today; May 14, 2024.

The corn was small and not sweet. The only reason I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt is we had a very dry year, but we were also decent about watering and our watermelon and pumpkins did awesome. so I'm not sure what happened with this corn. All of them came up, but only about 1/2 had edible ears of corn on them and that corn was not good at all. Wasn't even worth freezing. Last time I will be ordering seeds online, just stick to locally sold seeds and don't try to save a buck out of convenience and waste a whole sweetcorn season like I did. Just spend the extra few dollars for something reputable you know will be good.
