Cultivation method:
' Profit' corn is sown directly in the garden from mid-May to mid-June , once the soil has warmed up. Sowing can be done earlier in light, warm, and well-drained soils , but should be delayed in cold, wet soils such as clay. It requires full sun and fertile, cool, light, humus-rich soil .
Sow in clusters of 3 to 4 seeds , spaced approximately 25 cm apart, with rows 70 cm apart. The sowing depth varies between 1 and 3 cm , depending on the seed size. To promote optimal pollination and obtain well-filled ears, it is advisable to plant in several short rows rather than in a single long row.
Harvest :
The ears of corn form in the leaf axils, along the stem. Harvesting begins when the kernels are fully plump , still supple , and a milky liquid oozes out when pierced with a fingernail. To pick, grasp the ear and twist downwards to detach it cleanly from the stem. Harvest as you go to enjoy maximum sweetness.
Early, sweet and very productive!
With its rapid maturity, remarkable sweetness , and reliability, the bicolor 'Profit' corn is an excellent choice for early and flavorful harvests. High-performing in the garden and easy to grow, it promises tender and delicious ears all summer long.
