The Perfect Warm Weather Seeds

Corn seeds are best sown in the spring, allowing you to have juicy, sweet corn cooked to perfection on the first barbie of the summer. Corn is wind-pollinated, so when growing sweet corn seeds, be sure to grow them in blocks 40 cm apart to ensure a successful crop. It can be hard to know when your sweet corn seeds are ready; the best way to test for ripeness is when the tassels have turned chocolate brown. Squeeze a grain between your thumbnail and fingernail—if a watery liquid squirts out, it is unripe; if it is creamy, the cob is ready. 

How Long Do Sweet Corn Seeds Take to Germinate?

Sweet corn seeds typically take anywhere from five days up to two weeks to germinate in Australia. Different factors will affect germination, including the soil temperature, with colder climates causing a slower germination.
