Overview
Avalon was the first white corn in Syngenta's Triple-Sweet line, released in 2005 as a synergistic hybrid that mixes about three-quarters se kernels with a quarter sh2 for tenderness plus lasting sugar. It is described as the white counterpart of Providence. Plants stand 6 to 8 feet and produce ears of about 8 inches, white kernels in 16 rows, in about 82 days. Its target was roadside and local market growers across the East and Midwest, but home gardeners get the same high-quality ear. Sow in warm soil and keep it away from su plantings.
