Golden Bantam Sweet Corn Seeds – Non-GMO

6–7 inch ears. These corn seeds grow sturdy 5–6 foot stalks that reward you with classic, honest corn-on-the-cob taste. Who it's for Made for gardeners with a sunny, open plot who want authentic, fresh-picked sweet corn, and for cooks who prize traditional flavor over long shelf life. How & when to plant Sow directly 1–2 weeks after your last frost, once soil reaches 60°F, since corn resents transplanting. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, 8–12 inches apart, in blocks of at least 4 short rows rather than one long row to ensure good wind pollination. Space rows 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Germination takes 7–10 days. Grow as a warm-season annual in USDA zones 3–9. Harvest Ears are ready in about 75–85 days, at the milk stage when silks turn brown and a punctured kernel releases milky juice. Pick and eat or refrigerate promptly, as the sugars begin converting to starch soon after harvest. Benefits & uses Golden Bantam is at its best boiled or grilled on the cob within hours of picking, and the kernels also freeze and can well for later use. Planting in a block helps every ear fill out fully. Growing guide: New to this variety? Read our full guide, How to Grow Corn From Seed , for step by step sowing, spacing, and harvest tips.
