Overview

Bon Appetit is a bicolor se hybrid for mid-season harvest. Plants reach about 6 1/2 feet and produce blunt ears around 7 1/2 inches long with 16 to 18 rows of kernels. Sugar-enhanced genetics keep the kernels tender and sweet with decent holding after picking. Give it a block planting, steady moisture, and a nitrogen side-dressing when the plants are knee high.
