Overview
Sparkle is a white sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid that matures early to mid-season on plants about 5 1/2 feet tall, a manageable height for smaller gardens. Ears are roughly 8 inches long packing 16 to 18 firm-kerneled rows, filled out well to the tip and wrapped in good husk cover. Plant in blocks rather than single rows so the wind can pollinate every ear, and pick when the silks have dried and browned.
