Overview
Silverado is a white sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid from Harris Moran, listed by the breeder at 78 days and by catalogs as mid-season. Ears run 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 inches. It tolerates common smut as well as Stewart's wilt, and the kernels freeze well, so it suits gardeners who want to put some of the crop away. Sow in blocks once the soil warms and pick when silks turn brown.
