(Zea mays) 80-100 days. Developed by Nathan Stowell of New Jersey in 1848 as a cross between Menomony Soft Corn and Northern Sugar Corn. After 150 years, Non-GMO Stowell’s Evergreen Corn, is still the leading white variety for home gardens and market growers. Produces 9″ ears, on 8′ tall stalks, with 16-20 rows of plump, sweet white kernels. Remains in the milk stage a long time, hence the name ‘evergreen’. A very good keeper, in fact in old times people would pull up the whole plant once mature, hanging the plants upside-down in a cool pantry; the ears would last well into the winter, in a semi-fresh state. Stowell’s Evergreen is excellent for fresh eating, canning, and freezing.

I’ve tried and failed to grow corn before, but Stowell’s Evergreen was my ticket to success. We will definitely grow this sweet variety again.
