Rogers/Syngenta variety introduced in ’99. Triplesweet hybrids combine the exceptional tenderness and sweet corn flavor with extra sweetness, extended shelf life and field holding ability. Triplesweet bi-color delivers more consistent, longer lasting sweetness even under drought stress. 8″” (20 cm) ear length, good tip fill with 16–18 rows, medium green husk, strong stalks. Sow 1″” (2.5 cm) deep, in well tilled, very fertile soil 60°–65° F is optimal. Triplesweet must be separated from other super sweet varieties and 600’ away from field corn. Space rows about 3′ (90 cm) apart, in full sun, thin to 12″” (30 cm) apart, providing even moisture.
