Planted these mid-spring, and they thrived. The stalks were tall, and the ears were filled with large, tender kernels. Very happy with this purchase.
This Silver Queen corn has become our family favorite. Each ear was long and full, with excellent sweetness. Loved the consistency of growth.
The seeds germinated quickly, and the plants were strong. Some ears were smaller than expected, but the taste was excellent.
I grew these for my backyard BBQs. They turned out tender and sweet, perfect for boiling and grilling. It�s nice to have a reliable, tasty variety.
The corn came out wonderfully�soft, juicy, and flavorful. A little extra water helped, but overall very low maintenance.
