Golden X Bantam Sweet Corn Seeds (Zea mays) – 50+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Classic Sweet Ears with Rich Old-Fashioned Flavor, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners

Golden X Bantam Sweet Corn (Zea mays) is a treasured heirloom known for its rich, old-fashioned sweetness and golden kernels. Sturdy plants produce 6–8" ears with full, flavorful kernels perfect for fresh eating, grilling, and freezing.

A warm-season staple, Golden X Bantam matures in about 75–85 days and thrives in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil. Plant in blocks rather than single rows to improve pollination and ensure well-filled ears throughout the patch.

Enjoy ears at the milk stage for peak tenderness and sugar. Serve right off the stalk, lightly steamed, or charred on the grill—its classic sweetness shines in summer meals and preserves beautifully for later.

Reliable, flavorful, and time-tested, Golden X Bantam brings garden-fresh sweetness and nostalgic taste to backyard plots and homestead rows alike.

🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 50

Direct sow after the last frost when soil reaches 60–65°F. Choose a sunny, wind-sheltered site with fertile, well-draining soil. Plant in **blocks of 3–4 short rows** to promote good pollination and full ears.

Plant seeds 1–1.5 inches deep, spacing 8–12 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches. Keep evenly moist—steady water during tasseling and ear fill is critical for plump, sweet kernels. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer at knee-high stage.

Harvest when silks brown and kernels exude milky juice when pierced. Pick in the cool of morning and cook promptly for the best sweetness. For staggered harvests, sow successions every 10–14 days until midsummer.
