Although corn originated in Mexico, Australians weren’t slow to breed a variety that was (and still is) just perfect for local conditions. Jolly Roger produces firm, mid-sized ears that are just bursting with sweetness. Even one day of storage will reduce the sugars, so don’t be slow to eat and enjoy after picking. Give your grocer the go-by and enjoy your own organic veg.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Although you can skip this step, your seeds will come up much faster if you soak them overnight before sowing. Plant them directly in the place they’re to grow, spacing them 20 cm apart.

    How to Harvest

    When the silks have turned brown and wilted, it’s time to start picking, but don’t pick more than you will eat on the day. That way, you get the sweetest flavour. Cut your cobs or pull down, twist, and then pull towards you.
