Description

Enjoy exceptionally sweet, juicy and flavourful homegrown sweet corn with RHS Sweet Corn Mirai Picnic F1 Seeds from AllotMate Essentials. This outstanding hybrid variety produces medium-sized supersweet cobs filled with plump, golden kernels and delivers an excellent eating experience. Naturally bred for exceptional sweetness and succulent texture, Mirai Picnic F1 is a popular choice for gardeners who want to enjoy fresh, delicious corn straight from their vegetable garden. It has performed exceptionally well in garden trials and is recognised with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliability and growing performance. Perfect for allotments and home vegetable patches, this variety offers a rewarding harvest for sweet corn lovers. Each packet contains 25 seeds, making it a great choice for growing fresh summer produce at home.

For successful cultivation, sow seeds indoors between March and May in individual 7.5cm pots filled with quality seed compost. Cover the seeds with approximately 1.5cm of compost, water gently and maintain suitable warmth for germination. Once seedlings have developed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions before planting out after the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in May when the soil is sufficiently warm. Choose a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil. Plant sweet corn in blocks rather than single rows to encourage effective wind pollination and well-filled cobs. Space plants approximately 40cm apart in each direction and water regularly, especially during flowering and cob development. Harvesting generally takes place from August to October. For the best flavour, pick cobs when the silks turn brown and the kernels release a milky liquid when pressed. Enjoy freshly harvested sweet corn boiled, grilled or served at summer barbecues and picnics.
