How to Grow Sweetcorn Minipop F1 Seeds

Sow Sweetcorn Minipop F1 Seeds indoors from April to May or directly outdoors from May to June once the soil has warmed and all risk of frost has passed.

Sow seeds approximately 2.5cm deep into fertile, well-drained soil. Germination usually takes around 7–14 days in warm conditions.

Plant or thin seedlings to around 30–40cm apart and grow them in blocks rather than single rows to encourage strong plant development.

Choose a sunny, sheltered position and water regularly throughout the growing season.

Harvest the miniature cobs while young, usually when they are around 8–10cm long and before the silks become fully developed.
