Overview
Honey n' Pearl was a landmark when it won an All-America Selections award in 1988: an early bicolor supersweet (sh2) F1 hybrid from Illinois Foundation Seeds with the eating quality to match. The very large ears, 8.5 to 9 inches by 2 inches, have 16 to 18 straight rows, good tip fill and full ear cover on sturdy 6-foot plants. It carries moderate resistance to rust, Stewart's wilt and northern corn leaf blight, and adapts widely. Maturity is about 76 days. As an sh2 type, sow into warm soil and isolate from other corn.
