Sweetcorn with Growbags
Zea mays
- Tender Annual
What could be more satisfying that eating your own tender cobs of sweetcorn picked fresh from your garden. Ready to harvest from August onwards for a late summer treat that is delicious steamed or barbecued! Height: 150cm (59”).
- Ideal For:
- kitchen garden, patio
- Position:
- full sun
Pot up plug plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When plants are well grown, and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 10 days before planting into the patio bags supplied. Grow sweetcorn plants in a sheltered position in full sun. Sweetcorn is wind pollinated and the bags should be positioned close to one another to assist pollination. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
Feed and water sweetcorn regularly, particularly once the flowers have developed. When the silky tassels at the end of each kernel turn brown, peel back the cobs and insert a thumbnail into a kernel. The cobs can be harvested when the juice is a milky colour.
We will do our best to ship your plants or bulbs to you at the ideal time for planting as stated against each product. We recommend that you prepare your soil, planting beds or patio containers ahead of time so you are ready to plant out, or pot on, just as soon as your order arrives.
