An RHS-award-winning variety, ‘Earlibird’ is one of the so-called Supersweet varieties, and, perhaps unsurprisingly given the name, crops earlier than any of the other Supersweets. Producing cobs up to 20cm in length, this sweetcorn is ideal for grilling and barbecuing, and, if you’re up for a challenge, you can even try your hand at making your very own corn tortillas (be warned, though, it’s pretty labour-intensive). Grow your sweetcorn plants in a grid pattern in raised beds, allotments and even spacious borders. Plant out in May and you’ll be able to harvest all the way through from July to October. Our corn plants are grown under glass at our nursery with all the love and care you could possibly muster, before being sent to you as healthy young plants, ready to get going in the ground. A quick note: Supersweet corn varieties do best when planted without any other varieties alongside them to avoid cross-pollination and preserve the sweetness in the corns.
