Description
For years, we searched for an open-pollinated sweet corn with early maturity, strong emergence in cool-soils and excellent flavor. New Mama is the full package. Medium to large, well-filled ears with yellow kernels that hold their sweetness long after picking. This is one of the first truly super sweet (sh2), open-pollinated sweet corns out there, bred by the folks at Adaptive Seeds. They selected it from crosses made between a Tim Peters super sweet called White Sugar and an early release yellow super sweet from Friedemann Ebner of Sativa Rheinau in Switzerland. Another wonderful example of the never-ending, multigenrational power of plant breeding.
