Corn ‘Jolly Roger’ Vegetable Seeds
Botanical Name: Zea mays
The 'Jolly Roger' corn is a sweet and tender variety known for its high sugar content and juicy kernels. Each cob is packed with plump, golden-yellow kernels that are perfect for fresh eating, grilling, and boiling. This vigorous and productive variety produces large, uniform cobs with excellent flavour and texture. 'Jolly Roger' corn is an ideal choice for home gardeners and is best enjoyed fresh from the garden.
This variety thrives in warm conditions and is well-suited to a wide range of Australian climates. For the best results, plant in blocks rather than single rows to ensure good pollination.
