Sweetcorn
Golden Bantam
Golden Bantam is a classic open-pollinated sweetcorn variety dating from 1902, producing 15-20 cm cobs of rich, sweet yellow kernels. It has an old-fashioned, deep sweetness that differs from modern super-sweet F1 varieties. Being open-pollinated, seeds can be saved from year to year.
