Overview
Wizzard is a mid-season bicolor sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid that germinates vigorously in cool soil, so it tolerates being sown a bit earlier than many varieties. Ears reach roughly 8 inches and hold 16 to 18 kernel rows, and both tip fill and husk cover are excellent, which cuts down on earworm damage. Expect tender, sweet bicolor ears that hold well for a few days after picking.
