Little Veggie Patch Co CORN 'SWEET' HEIRLOOM SEEDS

What makes these sweet corn seeds special

• They are a sweet variety of corn that has juicy kernels with a high sugar content.
• A wind pollinated vegetable that bumps into each other dislodging pollen from the tassel on top to the silk on each developing cob.
• If growing in small numbers hand pollination is recommended.
