This specialized variety is grown for the sole purpose of producing baby corn and is therefore unsuitable for other uses. Several cobs are produced on these vigorous, easy-to-grow plants, which often produce more than one stem. The seeds should be sown closely together.

This early-maturing hybrid variety produces long ears filled with large, yellow kernels, carried on tall, vigorous plants. The cobs have the excellent, sweet flavor and tender texture typical of this type, and do well in regions with warm summers.

This medium-sized, supersweet variety has exceptionally vigorous, sturdy growth and produces high yields of large, well-filled cobs of excellent texture and flavor. Maturing in the midseason period, it suits a wide range of conditions.

This late-maturing, non-hybrid variety has long been grown in warmer regions, where it thrives best. It produces creamy-white kernels, which have a relatively moderate sweetness. In the right climate, it will produce more than one shoot, each of which bears one cob.

This charming ornamental plant bears small, round, and attractive cobs of rich, red grains that look similar to strawberries. The dried cobs make good ornaments and the grains can be popped. This variety should be grown away from other varieties.

This supersweet type, also called ‘Mirai White M421’, produces long ears filled with white kernels of high sugar content and exceptional flavor and tenderness. Plants are early-maturing, vigorous, tall, and leafy. Plant in full sun and give them plenty of warmth.

This tall, supersweet, late-season variety produces vigorous, sturdy growth, strong foliage, and excellent, large, well-filled cobs. Kernels are small and of good texture and flavor. It is suitable for cooler regions, but fertile soils are required for the best cobs.

This early-maturing, hybrid variety produces heads of yellow grains, with moderate sweetness and storage ability, but good tenderness. Satisfactory for cooler regions but best in warm areas, plants are robust with strong green foliage and husks.

This tall, vigorous, supersweet variety of corn produces long cobs with sweet and tender kernels. It copes well with a wide range of conditions and, despite being late-maturing, it is especially well-adapted to cooler regions.

This hybrid bears large cobs and combines the best of supersweet and sugar-enhanced corns, resulting in very sweet, tender kernels. Like supersweets, the flavor is retained well after harvest, but like sugar-enhanced, the ears need gentle handling.

‘Luscious F1’ hybrid, sugar-enhanced corn produces heavy, very sweet, and tender heads, filled with yellow and white kernels. Plants are tall and vigorous and suit regions with hot summers; they tolerate the leaf diseases often found in these areas.
