Description

Seminole XR Hybrid Sweet Corn F1 is a Hoss Favorite — and for good reason. This supersweet (sh2), bi-color hybrid delivers tender, flavorful, and very sweet kernels on large, 7"–8" ears that are filled all the way to the tip. Plants are impressively sturdy, typically reaching 6'–6.5' tall, and offer an ease of pick at harvest that sets this variety apart from the rest.

We trialed Seminole XR across several growing zones throughout the United States, and it performed well everywhere it was grown. Its wide adaptability to different soil types and conditions makes it an excellent choice for home gardeners and market growers alike. One of its most notable traits is an extended harvest window — at least 10 days, and up to 2 weeks in some cases — giving you more flexibility than most sweet corn varieties. Non-GMO, Not RoundUp Ready. Zea mays. 80 days to maturity.

Growing Information

Sweet corn should be planted in the spring after the last frost date. Sweet corn can be grown throughout the warmer months up until fall, as long as time is permitted for harvest before first frost. Succession planting is recommended with at least two plantings, one in early spring and one in late summer/early fall. Corn earworm pressure will be greater in the warmer months, but this can be alleviated by applying spinosad to silks and tassels once they appear.

We recommend planting sweet corn using a walk-behind planter like our Hoss Garden Seeder. Once plants emerge, thin plants to 6-8" depending on adequate irrigation. If drip irrigation is used, in-row spacing may be as close as 6". If water is scarce, wider in-row spacing will be necessary. For pollination purposes, corn should be planted in a square plot with rows on 30-36" spacing. Planting a few long rows will result in poor pollination and the absence of kernels on the cobs.
