About Early Sunglow
Early Sunglow is one of the earliest yellow sugary (su) hybrids, maturing in roughly 60 to 65 days on compact, short plants that suit small gardens and short-season regions. Its ears run on the smaller side but are sweet and dependable, and the early vigor makes it a good choice for cooler soils.
Growing Early Sunglow Sweet Corn
Its quick maturity and compact size make it ideal for succession planting and northern gardens, though the shorter stalks still benefit from block planting for pollination. Make sure early plantings go into soil that has warmed, and harvest promptly at the milk stage since su sugars fade fast.
