OdlingPlant out 10-15 cm apart in rows 20 cm apart when all danger of frost has passed in blocks of short rows rather than one long row. A warm sheltered position in fertile, moist yet free draining soil is best. Plants will still grow tall, the only thing miniature is the cobs.
Skörd64 Days
TipsKeep free of weeds and water regularly. Harvest the tiny cobs when the silks first show above the husks. What you are harvesting is the immature corn on the cob. Under ideal conditions each plant should bear 4-6 cobs. If you forget to harvest on time a normal sweet corn will be produced but you will have prevented the plant from developing more cobs throughout the season.
