Planting Instructions:

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¾ to 1½ inches deep. Planting too shallow can lead to the surface drying out, while planting too deep can expose the seeds to cool soil temperatures, which may cause seed rot.
• Planting Dates: The ideal time to plant sweet corn is between May 1 and May 15. Planting earlier may risk frost damage, and planting later can result in smaller yields.
• Soil Temperature: 60-75°F
• Seeding Rate: 4.5-6.7 lbs per acre, equating to 24,000 to 26,000 kernels per acre for optimal growth.
• Row Width: Maintain row widths of 30 inches to accommodate equipment and promote healthy growth.
• In-Row Spacing: Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart to maximize yield and air circulation.

These guidelines will help ensure strong emergence, high yields, and superior eating quality. Choose Serendipity for its exceptional sweetness, dependable performance, and versatility in both fresh markets and home gardens.
