Ambrosia (bicolor se+) Hybrid Sweet Corn
Growing Ambrosia (bicolor se+) Hybrid Sweet Corn
‘Ambrosia’ is a popular bicolor se+ hybrid sweet corn prized for its exceptional sweetness, tender texture, and rich, classic corn flavor. Large, 8-inch ears fill out with about 16 rows of juicy yellow and white kernels that stay sweet and tender longer after harvest thanks to enhanced-sugar genetics. Vigorous plants grow about 6 to 7 feet tall and produce dependable, high-quality ears for summer harvests.
Sow ‘Ambrosia’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep. Space plants about 3 feet apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs best when planted in blocks to encourage good pollination and full kernel development.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, begin checking the ears as they approach maturity and pick them at peak eating quality when the kernels are plump and juicy.
Sweet, crisp, and versatile, ‘Ambrosia’ is excellent for fresh eating, steaming, grilling, canning, and everyday cooking.
