SYN means Synergistic or Triple Sweet. 75% sugary enhanced kernels and 25% Super sweet kernels. SE means sugary enhanced.
Begin by sowing directly outdoors, one to two inches deep with eight inches between seeds and thirty inches between rows. When choosing a site in your garden, keep the sun in mind; these tall stalks have potential to block the sunlight from other plants. While growing, the crops will need one to one and a half inches of water. When the kernels are firm, the ear is ripe. To harvest, firmly pull the ear downwards while twisting. The unhusked ears can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.

| Corn Type: |
Sweet - Sweet Corn is the most popular corn for eating as corn on the cob or corn niblets. It has a high sugar content and is best enjoyed when picked a little early before the sugars turn to starch. This is your classic barbeque and picnic summer corn. |
| Incredible Hybrid R/M Corn Color: |
Yellow |
| Incredible Hybrid R/M Corn Flavor: |
Sugary Enhanced (se) - Sweeter and more tender than (su) corn, and the conversion of sugar to starch is slower, so can be picked and stored for almost a week before eating. |
