Growing Information
Growing Golden Bantam (yellow) Heirloom Corn
‘Golden Bantam’ is a classic heirloom sweet corn first introduced in 1902 and prized for its rich, old-fashioned flavor. Robust stalks produce uniform ears filled with 8 to 12 rows of golden-yellow kernels that are sweet, tender, and full of traditional corn flavor. Its dependable performance and nostalgic taste have kept ‘Golden Bantam’ a garden favorite for generations.
Sow ‘Golden Bantam’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep. Space plants about 3 feet apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs well through the summer growing season.
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, tender, and full of classic flavor, ‘Golden Bantam’ is excellent for fresh eating, canning, and freezing.
