Information only, I have not grown this variety.
Very small plants bear 3 to 6 ears. The steel blue cobs are supposedly sweet and tasty for an older variety of sweet corn. The cobs turn a lighter shade of blue when boiled.
This sweet corn can be grown in containers, so is an option for those with limited space, or apartment dwellers.
