Peaches and Cream Sweet Corn Seeds

 Hybrid Non-GMO Bicolor Garden Corn

Grow a true summer garden classic with Peaches and Cream Hybrid Sweet Corn Seeds. This popular bicolor sweet corn variety produces beautiful yellow and white kernels with a sweet, tender texture and large ears averaging about 8 inches long. Peaches and Cream is a full-season hybrid corn designed for home gardens, fresh market growing, roadside stands, raised beds, and family summer harvests.

This variety is a sugary enhanced sweet corn, often called SE corn. Sugary enhanced corn is known for sweeter, more tender kernels than standard sweet corn, with a slower conversion of sugar to starch after harvest. That means Peaches and Cream corn keeps its sweet eating quality longer when picked and stored properly.

Why Grow Peaches and Cream Sweet Corn?

Peaches and Cream is one of the most recognized bicolor sweet corn varieties for home gardeners and fresh market growers. It offers a beautiful mix of yellow and white kernels with the sweet, tender bite people expect from classic summer corn.

This variety is excellent for corn on the cob and fresh eating, but it is also suitable for canning and freezing so you can enjoy the harvest beyond the summer season. The plants produce tall, upright stalks and large ears, making it a dependable choice for garden plots and larger raised beds.

How to Grow Peaches and Cream Corn from Seed

Direct sow corn seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil has warmed. Corn is a warm-season crop and grows best in full sun with consistent moisture and fertile soil.

Plant seeds about 1.5–2 inches deep. Space plants 10–15 inches apart and rows 24–36 inches apart. For better pollination, plant corn in blocks of several short rows instead of one long single row. Corn is wind pollinated, so block planting helps improve kernel fill.

Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Corn needs steady water during tasseling, silking, and ear development. Dry stress during these stages may reduce ear size and kernel quality.

Because corn stalks grow tall, choose a planting location carefully. Peaches and Cream plants may reach 72–84 inches tall and can shade nearby smaller crops.

Harvest

Harvest when ears are full, silks have browned, and kernels are plump and firm. To harvest, hold the stalk firmly and pull the ear downward while twisting.

For best flavor, enjoy sweet corn soon after harvest. Unhusked ears may be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Disease & Pest Notes

Peaches and Cream Hybrid shows resistance to Northern Corn Leaf Blight and Southern Corn Leaf Blight. Like many corn varieties, it may still be susceptible to corn wireworms, cutworms, and fungal diseases depending on local growing conditions.

Good spacing, crop rotation, steady moisture, and healthy soil can help support stronger plants.
