Overview
Sundance is a yellow normal-sugar (su) hybrid introduced by Joseph Harris Company in 1972 and still grown for its dependability in the northern United States. Plants are short and sturdy, and ears of 7 1/2 to 8 inches carry 12 to 16 rows of kernels under smooth husks with unusually long tip cover. It germinates in cool soil and tolerates Stewart's wilt and maize dwarf mosaic. Maturity is listed at 69 to 71 days. Being an su type, eat it soon after picking, as the sugars convert to starch quickly.
