These rich yellow cobs of Golden Phoenix F1 are a very manageable and tasty 18-20cm long. The kernels are small in small in size but big on flavour. This super sweet variety does best in the southern half of the UK as it takes a little more time to grow.
Sow: seed depth 20mm, inside from March to early May in deep pots, or in May outside. This variety has shrunken seed which will benefit from soaking in lukewarm water for 20-30 minutes before sowing
Grow: harden off when about 15cm tall and after frost danger has passed. Plant them in a block with the plants and rows about 30-50 cm apart. Sweetcorn is wind pollinated. Ripens September time
Enjoy: the kernels are small in size but big on flavour: the tasty 18-20cm long cobs are ready to harvest when the juice from a kernel is ‘milky’. Simply pop into a pan of boiling water - fabulous
