Commonly Asked Questions
How many sweet corn do you get from one plant?
Each sweetcorn plant typically produces one or two cobs. Harvest the cobs when the silky tassels turn brown and the kernels exude a milky liquid when pressed.
Does sweetcorn come back every year?
Sweetcorn is an annual plant. It will flower, produce seed (kernels), and then die. Multiple ears may develop on the same plant, but their maturity times will be close together.
Do sweetcorn plants need support?
Sweetcorn plants are generally sturdy and do not require support. They benefit from watering in dry weather, especially from late summer as the silks appear and cobs form.
Do slugs eat sweet corn plants?
Young sweetcorn seedlings are vulnerable to birds, slugs, and snails. To protect them, cover the plants with fine horticultural fleece.
