Kandy Korn Sweet Corn is a favorite golden yellow sweet corn with attractive burgundy-red tinged husk! The succulent and tender-juicy ears can hold at peak quality for up to 2 weeks. This sugary-enhanced hybrid (EH) is known for its superior tenderness, creamy texture and good "corn" flavor. It also has higher sugar levels than (su) varieties and has excellent holding qualities. Long kernal rows and pretty red-hued husks make an attractive sight in the garden.

Corn is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans. Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.
