This mid-to-early maturing hybrid variety is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for productive plants and reliable harvests. It produces high-yielding cobs that fill right to the tip with deep, attractive golden kernels and feature a narrow central core, providing plenty of delicious corn to enjoy. Known for its consistent performance in a wide range of growing conditions, Prelude F1 is a dependable variety for home vegetable gardens and allotments. It has also received the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliability and good garden performance. Each packet contains 35 seeds, making it ideal for growing a rewarding crop of fresh sweet corn at home.

For successful cultivation, sow seeds indoors from March to May in individual 7.5cm pots filled with quality seed compost. Cover each seed with approximately 1.5cm of compost, keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of around 15°C for germination. Once seedlings emerge, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions in late May, avoiding frost. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in May in a prepared growing position. Plant sweet corn in blocks or squares rather than long rows to encourage effective wind pollination, spacing plants approximately 35cm apart in each direction. Choose a sunny location, water regularly and pay particular attention to watering during flowering. Harvesting generally takes place from August to October, when the cobs are ready to provide fresh, delicious sweet corn for your favourite meals.
