Silver Queen is one of the best tasting breeds of sweet corn that you can eat. Silver Queen is also the tallest sweet corn that you can grow. Silver Queens plant height averages 7 to 10 feet.

This is the corn that brought back the popularity of white sweet corns and is still the standard by which white sweet corns are measured. It is one of the few cultivars that are demanded by name at U -Pick farms, roadside stands and Farmer's Markets. It is very easy to grow, at least south of the Mason - Dixon line, disease resistant and prolific. It is still my main crop corn, not because it is my favorite but because of demand.
