Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Vibrant Aesthetics: Features bright white, very sweet kernels packed in 16-18 straight rows on slightly tapered, 20 cm (8 in.) cobs with excellent tip fill.
  • Growth Requirements: Thrives in well-fertilized soil; prefers temperatures around 15°C (60°F) for germination. Sow 4 cm (1.5 in) deep, spacing seeds every 30 cm (12 in) in rows 1 m (36 in) apart.
  • Optimal Harvest: Ready in 76 days with a longer shelf life than typical varieties. Harvest cobs when kernels fill the tips and exhibit their characteristic bright white color.
  • Culinary Delight: Perfect for grilling, boiling, or adding to salads. Renowned for its crunchier texture and higher sweetness, ideal for gourmet dishes.
  • Environmental Adaptability: Requires isolation from other corn types (at least 100 feet) to prevent cross-pollination, ensuring purity and flavor of your produce.

  • The 2500-seed packet is a fit for small market growers or large family gardens planning several blocks or staggered plantings. Provides enough seed for consistent weekly harvests.
  • The 10000-seed packet is best for market farms, CSAs, or community projects targeting bulk plantings and reliable yields. Supports multiple successions or larger acreage blocks.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Corn Eden Seeds after the last frost date in your area. Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Plant seeds 1.5 inches deep, spacing them 12 inches apart in rows that are 36 inches apart. Ensure good soil moisture for successful germination.

Germination occurs best at temperatures around 60°F. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to maintain spacing. Transplant is not recommended; instead, direct sowing ensures stronger plants. Harden off seedlings if started indoors.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to ensure healthy growth. Apply corn-specific fertilizer for optimal yield. Harvest when kernels are fully developed and exhibit a bright white color. Enjoy fresh or in your favorite dishes.
