Overview
Temptation is a bicolor se hybrid from Seminis (2002) that stands out for cold-soil vigor, letting you sow it earlier than many sweet corns. Ears are around 7 1/2 to 8 inches with 16 to 18 rows of tender, very sweet kernels, good tip fill, and husks that wrap well past the end. It shows some tolerance to smut. In the Northeast it matures in about 72 days. As a homozygous sugar-enhanced variety it holds sweetness reasonably well after picking.
