Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn is one of the oldest varieties of sweet corn in production, dating back to the 1840's. This old-fashioned variety is one of the few heirloom, open-pollinated varieties of sweet corn and is still a gardener favorite today. Jumbo, sweet, white kernels grow on 8-8 1/2 inch ears that grow well, store well, and taste great.

Corn is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans. Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.
