Overview
Stowell's Evergreen is a white open-pollinated heirloom that earned its name from an old-fashioned storage trick: before a killing frost, whole stalks with partly mature ears can be cut and hung in a shed, and ears stay pickable for a month or longer. It is a standard sugary (su) type of mid to late season, listed at 80 days by some sources and 98 by Wikipedia, and in northern or high-altitude gardens it may not fully ripen. Plants set one or two ears of 8 to 9 inches long, with white kernels in 14 to 20 rows. Seed can be saved year to year.
