Who Gets Kissed packs clean, creamy sweetness into well-filled 7–8 inch bicolor ears—yellow and white kernels with a crisp, tender bite. Carrying the Sugary Enhanced (SE) trait, it delivers that extra-sweet, just-picked flavor long after harvest. Plants grow 5–6 feet tall with ears set high for easy picking. Selected for cool-soil emergence, strong tip fill, and a staggered harvest window, it gives steady dinners instead of a one-week glut. Bred by Upper Midwest farmers and released in 2014, its name nods to an old corn-husking game—but the real prize is dependable flavor and performance. These seeds are Certified Naturally Grown (CNG)—grown using practices that avoid synthetic inputs and focus on healthy soil and responsible stewardship.
How to Grow
Plant seeds directly in the garden in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Sweet corn grows best in warm soil and air conditions and should not be planted too early. Seeds germinate best when soil temperatures are near 60°F, and untreated seed should not be planted until soil is at least 65°F. Corn is wind pollinated and should be planted in blocks of at least 3–4 rows side by side to ensure good pollination and full ears. Make successive plantings every 2 weeks for a continuous harvest through summer. Plan for the last planting to mature a few weeks before your average first frost date.
Because corn varieties cross-pollinate, isolate sweet corn from field corn, popcorn, and ornamental corn. To prevent starchy kernels and reduced sweetness, separate plantings by distance when possible or stagger sowing dates so varieties shed pollen at different times. Field and ornamental corn can often be planted a bit earlier than sweet corn, but sweet corn performs best when soils are adequately warm. For drying corn intended for flour, meal, or decoration, harvest at full maturity and cure in a dry, airy place until kernels are fully hard.
