Know before you buy
Corn is wind-pollinated, meaning the pollen must travel from the tassels to the silks of neighboring ears. Planting in blocks rather than a single long row ensures better pollination, which results in fuller, more complete ears of corn.
Yes, 'Who Gets Kissed' is an open-pollinated variety, which means you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons. Just ensure the corn is not cross-pollinated by other varieties growing nearby to maintain the plant's characteristics.
This variety is noted for its ability to emerge well in cooler soil compared to many other sweet corn types. However, for the best results, you should still aim to sow when soil temperatures reach the recommended 70-85°F range.
Intermediate resistance means the plant has a genetic ability to limit the damage caused by these specific diseases. While it doesn't make the plant immune, it is significantly more likely to remain healthy and productive than non-resistant varieties when exposed to these common corn pathogens.
These are relatively compact plants that reach 5 to 6 feet in height. Because of their size, they are well-suited for home gardens where space might be more limited than in large-scale commercial fields.
