Premier Seeds DirectSWEETCORN - Rising Sun F1-50 Finest Seeds

I’m really happy with these corn seeds every single one germinated they looked like they wouldn’t work but growing perfectly I started them in tissue and planted them after sprouting. Let’s see what the corn comes out like put for now very happy

This is the first time I have grown corn and I will continue to do so every year. Bottom line the seeds have been great.I planted 3 batches of seeds each time around 25 pots. I had poor germination in the first set maybe 6 / 25 and although it would have been easy to blame the seeds I quickly tried again. Altering the potting mix and creating a makeshift cloche for each pot. This increased the success to 23 / 25. After I planted the first set out I decided to pot another batch. Again this one was successful.Now the first batch are ready to harvest and are amazing. Its the first time I've had fresh corn but its much sweeter than store bought. My second batch have cobs with silks ready and tassels out. I'm hoping I still have time for this batch to be a success aswell. As you can see in the photos the corn is a little light coloured, im not sure but I think this may have something to do with the sugars as they turned a lovely rich yellow after boiling.

Only get 50% growth out of these so have had to buy other varieties to make up the numbers as need 60 plants

All the seed germinated however the British summer of 2024 saw them off!

Thay where will package but seemed very dryed out unfortunately I didn’t manage to germinate any but that could of been my lack of experience

Planted 18 seeds in a 3x3 cell tray and all germinated. Into the 4th week now and all look strong and healthy. Will plant out at the end of this week and update after a few more weeks.

100% failure to germinate

Every single seed has germinated ..so far so good!
