Sweet corn plants are definitely a warm season crop, easy to grow in any garden. You can plant either sweet corn plants or super sweet corn plants, but don’t grow them together because they may not do well. So what’s the difference between growing traditional field corn and growing sweet corn? The taste. Many people grow corn, but what is known as field corn has a starchier flavor and a slightly harder cob. Sweet corn, on the other hand, is softer and has a pleasantly sweet taste. Planting sweet corn is fairly easy and not much different than growing traditional corn. Practicing proper planting will keep it growing healthy throughout the summer so you can be eating fresh corn on the cob in no time.
Be sure when planting sweet corn that the soil is warm — at least above 55 F. (13 C.). If you plant super sweet corn, be sure the soil is at least 65 F. (18 C.), as super sweet corn prefers a warmer climate. The best way how to grow sweet corn is to plant an early variety near the beginning of the season, and then wait a couple weeks to plant another early variety and then plant a later variety. This will help you to have fresh sweet corn to eat all summer long.
