Tips
Golden Bantam is an early maturing heirloom corn dating from about 1902 and is a sweet old-fashion corn with a lot of corn flavor. It tastes like corn and not like sugar! The ears are about seven inches long with large kernels. This variety made yellow sweet corn popular. A reliable and tasty producer, even in short, cool summers.
Direct seed outdoors after last frost when soil temperature reaches at least 60℉. Plant 1” deep and 3” apart. Thin to about 8-12”
soaking seeds overnight speeds up germination
wind pollinated, so plant in blocks 4 rows deep or in co-centric circles
corn likes nitrogen; benefits from side dressing of compost/nitrogen fertilizer mid-season
improved bantam is tolerant of dry conditions and close planting
averages two ears per stalk
