Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 8-12 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart. For best pollination, plant in blocks of at least four rows rather than a single long row. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and throughout the growing season, especially during tasseling and ear development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorn is a heavy feeder; side-dress with a balanced fertilizer when plants are about knee-high. Control weeds early by shallow cultivation, being careful not to disturb shallow roots. Water deeply during dry spells to ensure proper kernel fill. Harvest when silks turn brown and kernels are plump and release a milky liquid when pierced. For fresh eating, harvest promptly and refrigerate to preserve sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/4 oz packet of Silver Queen Corn seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824752034102,"sku":"FOLIA2-1163","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6460865412_68rw.jpg?v=1793004459","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/silver-queen-corn-seeds-sweet-white-hybrid-1-4-oz","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
