Sowing: Direct sowing
Exposure: Full sun

Cultivation method:

Sow directly outdoors once the soil has warmed up, covering the seeds with 2 to 3 cm of compost. Plant in clumps rather than isolated rows to improve pollination and produce full ears. Corn thrives in fertile soil and consistent moisture: irrigation is essential for good kernel formation.

Space plants 25 to 30 cm apart and maintain regular weeding. Harvest when the grains are fully plump and the milky juice flows out when pierced.
