The SE trait keeps Candy Mountain sweet for a few days after picking — a practical advantage for home gardeners. Bred to grow five feet tall with great cool-soil emergence and early-season vigor, Candy Mountain also offers one of the most beautiful field presentations of any sweet corn: a burgundy tinge to the husks and leaves that is genuinely striking in the garden. 70–80 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Candy Mountain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich, balanced sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e — SE\/SU mix, sweeter than old-timey but not overpowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStays sweet for days after picking\u003c\/strong\u003e — SE trait extends the harvest window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreat cool-soil emergence\u003c\/strong\u003e — early-season vigor for northern and cool-climate gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurgundy husks and leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the most beautiful sweet corns in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 5-foot plants\u003c\/strong\u003e — manageable size for home gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-pollinated heirloom\u003c\/strong\u003e — save seed year after year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow outdoors after the last frost. Good cool-soil emergence makes it suitable for early planting. Plant in blocks of at least 4×4 for good wind pollination — do not plant in single rows. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 8–12 inches apart, in rows 30–36 inches apart. Water consistently. Harvest when kernels are plump and milky — the silk should be brown and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70–80 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKernel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSE\/SU mix (sugar-enhanced + normal sugary)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStays sweet days after picking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~5 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHusk Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurgundy tinge (ornamental)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeirloom, Open-Pollinated, Non-GMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8–12 inches in blocks (min. 4×4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacked and shipped by Box Garden Seeds LLC — heirloom seeds grown without GMOs, selected for flavor, resilience, and your garden’s success.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","offers":[{"title":"0.25 oz ~ 25+ Seeds","offer_id":41712350363782,"sku":"25-93-721-2024","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.50 oz ~ 50+ Seeds","offer_id":41712350396550,"sku":"50-93-721-2024","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.0 oz ~ 100+ Seeds","offer_id":41712350429318,"sku":"100-93-721-2024","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2669\/3330\/files\/il_fullxfull.7658520919_syhz.jpg?v=1770131566","url":"https:\/\/bgseedsllc.com\/products\/candy-mountain-heirloom-sweet-corn-seeds","provider":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
