This is a special variety of corn, bred for Baby Corn production, the plants tend to produce many more ears per plant than normal sweet corn varieties. However, many common corn varieties will also produce quality baby corn. Harvest the ears when they are best for baby corn which is about bite size: 5cm to 10cm long and 1cm to 2cm in diameter at the base, or butt end. To meet this criteria, harvest ears 1 to 3 days after silks become visible. Harvest baby corn every 2–3 days. At this early stage of ear development, the ear can grow very quickly, becoming too large in only 4–5 days! Don't forget that if you leave them they will grow into full size sweetcorn but probably not the best you could grow!

A novelty cross between Hopi Blue and the white giant Mexican, this is a tall sweet corn to 12ft or more with long cobs that turn a mottled blue/white as they ripen. Best eaten just as they start to turn colour.

An unusual bicoloured white/yellow main season variety with high quality cobs of an excellent sweet flavour. Attractive, 8 1/2" ears with 16 rows of kernels bursting with flavour. Great for freezing. 5'-6' plants. Good cool soil germination and quick 71 days to Maturity.

Bloody Butcher is truly a fabulous heirloom corn with blood-red kernels in gorgeous wine-red husks. This is a long season corn, and bears 8-12 inch ears on tall 10 foot stalks. The immature ears can be eaten like sweet corn, but the mature corn can be ground for an exquisite red corn flour or used for decoration. It has quite good drought tolerance but will need to be raised early in pots before planting out in late May/June to give them a head start on the weather.

Main season variety with high quality long cobs of an excellent sweet flavour. 16 to 18 rows per cob and these are high yielding plants and considered one of the worlds best gourmet sweet corns.

A new early to mid-season multi-sweet variety. Produces medium sized cobs, typically 20cm in length. The large sized grains and small sized core make it particularly tasty.

An unusual sweet corn developed by the Hopi Indians renowned for its sweet and distinctive blue cornmeal. Excellent for eating fresh while the kernels are tender just as they start to turn from white to blue, but used dry for blue corn chips, blue flour etc. Also used for decoration. Bushy 5 foot plants produce 7 inch ears and are quite nutritious. What upsets me most is that they are really delicious but all of our own trial crops have to be turned into seed for resale and my wife won't let me eat them!!

Actually not a sweet corn but a popping corn this blue hybrid has the quality and yield potential to compete with the best mid-season hybrids. The kernel colour is a dark lavender but with a white endosperm, so the flake is white. This corn has delightful eating quality with a subtle sweetness and savoury flavour that pops up large and fluffy.
