very hardy plant. grew last year and planted agian this year. not many people had much luck with any sweet corn in my area last year due to drought. yes i watered but not as much as should have. had a very good crop.

This bi-color se is vigorous with nice ears. It is tender and among the best tasting in its class.

excellent!, our whole community has switched from another popular bi-color, & even left behind our old favorite white corn.

This is a sugary enhanced bicolor that was a dissapointment for me. It was just not as vigorous or productive as other bicolors nor did I find that the texture and flavor stood out in the crowd.
