This F1 hybrid is bred for early maturity, meaning you can enjoy fresh, homegrown sweetcorn sooner in the season.

The plants are also known for their excellent resistance to common sweetcorn diseases, ensuring a hassle-free growing experience with a bountiful harvest.
Sowing Instructions:
For Sweetcorn Pot of Gold F1, start by sowing seeds indoors from March to April in individual pots or seed trays filled with good-quality seed compost. Plant the seeds about 2.5 cm deep and keep them in a warm, sheltered spot (around 18-21°C) until they germinate, which typically takes 7-10 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into their final outdoor position after the risk of frost has passed, usually in late May to early June.
For outdoor sowing, wait until the soil has warmed up and there is no risk of frost. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, spaced 25-30 cm apart, in blocks rather than rows to improve pollination and ensure the best results.
Growing Tips:
Sweetcorn Pot of Gold F1 thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Keep the plants well-watered, especially during dry periods, as sweetcorn needs consistent moisture to develop its sweet kernels. Adding a balanced fertiliser during the growing season will help promote strong growth and abundant fruiting. Mulching around the plants will help retain moisture and prevent weeds from competing for nutrients.
For optimal pollination, plant your sweetcorn in blocks (rather than single rows) to encourage cross-pollination. Space the plants around 25 cm apart, and thin out weaker plants to allow for better air circulation and sunlight penetration.
Harvesting:
Sweetcorn Pot of Gold F1 is typically ready to harvest around 70-80 days after sowing. You’ll know it’s time to harvest when the kernels are plump, golden, and juicy. Gently press a kernel with your fingernail – if it releases a milky juice, the cob is ready. For the sweetest flavour, harvest in the morning and enjoy fresh or cook immediately.
Sweetcorn Pot of Gold F1 is an outstanding choice for gardeners looking to grow high-quality, delicious sweetcorn with vibrant colour and excellent flavour. With its early maturity, disease resistance, and generous yield, it’s the perfect variety for creating mouthwatering homegrown corn on the cob, straight from your garden to your table.
