Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - 102 days. One of the earliest-maturing varieties for the South, and one of the most widely grown varieties in the southern mountains.

• A mix of many varieties in multiple colors

This variety will grow well in most regions of the United States but prefers a long, frost-free growing season.

Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors 1" deep after danger of frost has passed. For good pollination and full ears, plant in blocks of 3-6 rows instead of one long row. Thin seedlings to 8" apart. Corn is a heavy feeder and does best in well-drained fertile soil with plenty of water.
