Hybrids

There are a large number of hybrids of sweet corn available. We’ve selected some of our favorites and listed them below, first by color, then by variety. Unless otherwise noted, most corn varieties are ready to harvest in 70 days for early cultivars and around 100 for other cultivars, depending on where you live. If you live in a warm area, you can expect harvest about a week earlier. Ask your local extension agent for tips on growing times.
