Sweetcorn
Earlibird
Earlibird is an early-maturing F1 sweetcorn bred specifically for the shorter UK growing season, producing sweet, tender cobs reliably even in cooler summers. It is one of the most popular choices for UK home growers for its dependability and good flavour. Cobs are medium-sized with a good sugar content.
