Delectable Corn is a sugar-enhanced F1 hybrid that produces 8–9-inch ears with 16–20 rows of kernels on 6–7-foot stalks. The tender ears are suited to fresh eating and home processing.
Plant outdoors after the last frost when soil reaches at least 60°F. Sow in blocks of 4–5 rows so wind pollination fills the ears well, then pick when the silks dry brown and the kernels release milky juice when pressed.
