Product description

Sweet Corn 'Goldcrest F1' is a high-yielding variety that produces large, golden-yellow cobs with a sweet, tender texture. This F1 hybrid is known for its excellent flavour and uniformity, making it a popular choice among gardeners who love vegetables that are both delicious and easy to grow. The tall, sturdy plants of 'Goldcrest F1' are well-suited for UK gardens, where they can reach their full potential, providing a bountiful harvest of sweet corn that is perfect for fresh eating, grilling, or freezing for later use.

To grow Sweet Corn 'Goldcrest F1', start by sowing the seeds indoors from April to May, placing them 2.5cm deep in seed compost. If you prefer to sow directly outdoors, wait until late May when the soil has warmed up. Transplant the seedlings outdoors in late May to June, spacing the plants 40cm apart in blocks rather than rows. This planting method encourages better pollination, resulting in fuller cobs. 'Goldcrest F1' thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, which helps the plants develop strong, healthy cobs.

For the best results, water Sweet Corn 'Goldcrest F1' regularly, especially during dry spells, to ensure the soil remains consistently moist. This is particularly important as the plants begin to flower and set cobs. Feeding with a balanced vegetable fertiliser will support robust growth and maximise your harvest. By mid-August to September, you can begin harvesting the cobs when the kernels are plump, juicy, and at their peak sweetness. With proper care, 'Goldcrest F1' will reward you with a delicious and plentiful crop, making it an excellent addition to any vegetable garden.
