Corn seeds — sweet, tender cobs straight from the garden

Few crops reward a sunny plot like home-grown sweetcorn — picked and cooked within the hour, the kernels are sweeter than anything from a shop. Corn is the seed behind the species Zea mays, and it sits within our wider vegetable range. New to growing your own? Our vegetable growing guide covers everything from sowing to harvest.

Corn is wind-pollinated, so it pays to plant in blocks rather than long rows — the sowing calendar shows when to start.

Choosing the right type

Modern supersweet and tendersweet varieties hold their sugars longest, while older sweetcorn types have a fuller, more traditional flavour. There are also popping and ornamental corns for something different. Whichever you choose, grow a single variety at a time, or keep types well apart, so cross-pollination doesn't dull the sweetness.

Growing corn from seed

Corn loves warmth and a long, sunny season. Start seed under cover in modules and plant out only once frost has passed, spacing plants in a block so the pollen falls reliably from tassel to silk. It's hungry and thirsty — a classic companion in a Three Sisters bed with squash and beans, where the trio shelter and feed one another.

Give corn rich soil and steady water through summer and the cobs swell fast as the days lengthen.

Why should I plant corn in a block instead of a row?
Corn is pollinated by wind, so planting in a square block rather than a single long row helps pollen fall from the tassels onto the silks, giving fuller, better-filled cobs. How do I know when sweetcorn is ready to pick?
The silks turn brown and dry, and a kernel pressed with a thumbnail releases a milky (not watery or doughy) sap. Pick and cook the same day for the sweetest flavour. Can I grow more than one type of corn together?
It's best not to. Supersweet, sweetcorn and popping types can cross-pollinate and spoil each other's flavour, so grow a single variety, or keep different types well apart. When should I sow sweetcorn seed?
Start seed under cover in mid to late spring and plant out after the last frost. See our vegetable sowing calendar for timings.
