The Silver Queen is a stunning all-white super sweet corn that is a popular late-season variety. These plants grow large 9-inch ears with large, juicy kernels with a sweet and tender flavor. This hybrid variety has proven to be reliable, productive, and adaptive to multiple climates.

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.
