This improved form of Sweetcorn ‘Honeydew’ is a very high-quality Extra Tender type producing large cobs packed with exceptionally sweet, tender kernels. The robust, sturdy plants grow well even in cool climates, with each plant bearing between 2-3 cobs, and the succulent kernels are sweet enough to eat raw!
How To Grow
There’s something special about growing your own sweetcorn. Picked fresh and cooked within minutes, homegrown cobs are bursting with sweetness and flavour that shop-bought simply can’t match. Sow early and give plants a warm, sunny spot and you’ll be rewarded with golden kernels perfect for summer feasts.
Indoor Sowing Sow one seed per pot in moist seed compost from April, keeping them on a sunny windowsill or in a heated propagator. Sweetcorn loves warmth, so this head start helps plants grow strong. Once seedlings reach around 15cm tall and frosts have passed, they’re ready to move outdoors.
Planting Out Harden off seedlings gradually over 7–14 days before transplanting. Plant 2.5cm deep, spacing 45cm between plants and 45cm between rows. Grow in blocks rather than rows for better pollination and fuller cobs.
Outdoor Sowing Direct sow once soil has warmed and frost risk has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and sow in blocks for reliable pollination.
Harvesting Check readiness with the fingernail test: peel back the husk and press a kernel. If the liquid is milky, the cob is ready to harvest.
Companion Planting Grow sweetcorn with climbing beans and squash—the traditional “three sisters” planting—where beans add nitrogen and squash shades soil to keep weeds down.
