Overview
Luther Hill is an open-pollinated white heirloom sweet corn (su type) that matures in about 82 days. It is a miniature: plants reach only 4 feet and the ears are 3 to 6 inches long with 12 rows of kernels. The side shoots often produce usable ears too, so yield per plant is better than the size suggests. Fine for small gardens, and seed can be saved if isolated from other corn. Eat soon after picking, since su kernels lose sweetness quickly.
