About Ambrosia
Ambrosia is a popular bicolor sugary enhanced (se) hybrid with a mix of yellow and white kernels, valued for its tender skins and high, well-balanced sweetness. It matures in about 75 days on productive plants and is a reliable choice for fresh eating.
Growing Ambrosia Sweet Corn
Plant it in blocks of several short rows for full pollination and even kernel set, and keep it separated from supersweet corn to preserve tenderness. The se genetics extend the harvest window slightly, but pick at the milk stage when the silks brown for the best flavor.
