Triple Threat (yellow sh2) Hybrid Sweet Corn
Growing Triple Threat (yellow sh2) Hybrid Sweet Corn
‘Triple Threat’ is an early-maturing hybrid sweet corn prized for its exceptional sweetness, uniform ears, and dependable garden performance. Vigorous, upright stalks produce large ears filled with 16 to 18 rows of bright yellow kernels, with excellent tip fill and strong husk protection. Consistent ear size, high yields, and strong disease resistance make this variety a reliable choice for both home gardeners and fresh-market growers.
Sow ‘Triple Threat’ directly in the garden about 1 to 1½ inches deep. Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart in rows 30 to 36 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 6 to 7 feet tall and perform best in warm, fertile soil. Isolate from other corn types as needed to maintain purity and peak eating quality.
Ready to harvest in about 72 to 75 days, begin checking the 8-inch ears as they approach maturity and pick them at peak eating quality when the kernels are plump, tender, and juicy.
Sweet, tender, and productive, ‘Triple Threat’ is excellent for fresh eating, freezing, and market harvests.
