SCARBOROUGH SEEDS White Corn (Silver King) 25 Seeds
82 days. The Silver King Hybrid variety of corn seeds grow to be between six and seven foot tall stalks, which provide large ears of white corn with a sweet flavor, growing up to eight inches. The Silver King Hybrid is mature after eighty days. This variety is adaptable and particularly resistant to disease. A high quality, homozygous, sugary enhanced (se) white corn. Tender kernels consistently fill each ear all the way to the tip. Ears average 8 inches long with 16 to 18 rows. The medium green husks provide good cover. Silver King is tolerant to Stewart's wilt, northern corn leaf blight, and common rust.
Begin by sowing directly outdoors, 1 1/2 inches deep with six inches between seeds and thirty inches between rows. When choosing a site in your garden, keep the sun in mind; these tall stalks have potential to block the sunlight from other plants. While growing, the crops will need one to one and a half inches of water. When the kernels are firm, the ear is ripe. To harvest, firmly pull the ear downwards while twisting. The unhusked ears can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
