Chires Baby Corn grows into creamy sweet miniature ears of corn which are entirely edible. The tiny cobs can be used whole in salads, cooked in stir fries, dried for popcorn or easily frozen! They're delightful touches in dried wreaths, too.

Traditionally found in Chinese cuisine, this corn produces up to 20 ears on each multi-stalked plant. Successive weekly or bi-weekly plantings until mid July extend the harvest, which begins when plant is 18" tall.

Planting Instructions

Plant corn directly in warm and rich soil 1 or 2 weeks after last frost in spring. Germination is best in soil temperature of at least 60F. At 55F., it will be retarded, and at 50F. there is minimal germination.

Plant 1"-2" deep and thin to 8"-10" apart in rows 30"- 36" apart. Planting 4-row blocks ensures better pollination than 2 long rows. Corn is ready when the silk on the ears is brown. Old timers say to put the pot on to boil as you go out to pick corn. The sooner it is cooked the tastier it is.
