Pretty, phlox-like 13mm (½in) white and maroon flowers that open in the late evening, releasing a delicious scent. Grow in groups to take advantage of the honey fragrance.

A soothing sight by the waterside, in moist borders or large containers.

Hardy with dry mulch winter protection.

A major new variety of early/mid season maturity, in that not only is it a corn of super sweetness, but it has also been modified by the 'sugar enchance' gene. This ensures a much tenderer, easy to eat, melt-in-the-mouth quality to the grain and a retained sweetness after harvest or freezer storage, significantly better than regular varieties. Height 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft).

Later maturing well adapted to our indifferent summer weather. Strong growing plants 210cm (7ft) tall, with very few tillers (sideshoots), averaging three, 20cm (8in) long cobs per plant, each with 14-18 rows of kernels full to the tip. Superb eating quality!

At harvest time it's twice as sweet as other varieties. Instead of the sweetness and flavour deteriorating as in other sweet normal varieties, it has a rich sugary flavour and is easy to grow. To ensure maximum sweetness do not grow near ordinary varieties.

Tendersweet. Superior in both taste and texture, quicker to germinate and better vigour than other varieties. Produces 2-3, 18cm (7½in) cobs per plant, each with 16-18 rows of bright yellow tender sweet kernels. Flavour guide: rich and sugar-sweet. Long lasting flavour. Easy to grow. Isolation from other sweetcorn varieties not required.

Significantly different in supersweets, unique yellow, white, red and purple kernels which develop a stronger colour as each cob matures. Exceptionally sweet, tender 20cm (8in) cobs full of flavour, add a touch of colour to your dishes. To maintain colour isolate from other sweetcorns.

A Tendersweet variety giving superior sweetness with a softer, less chewy texture than Supersweets, making kernels more pleasurable to eat as well as easier to digest. Improved germination adds to the appeal. Can be also grown with other varieties, no need to isolate. Requires a fertile soil in a sunny position.

Grow your own tiny corn cobs for Chinese cooking and casseroles. Harvest delicious tiny, tasty sweet corn, cobs and all, fresh from your garden - so much tastier than the tinned variety. Baby corn are harvested before pollination just as the 'silk tassels' begin to show.

A reliable performer in British summers, especially suited to cooler northern districts. One of the earliest maturing of the 'supersweets' producing good quality, well filled cobs up to 20cm (8in) long. Sturdy plants but growing only to 150 to 180cm (5 to 6 feet) tall.

A mid-season supersweet type, which produces large cobs of 20-23cm (8-9in) long, filled to the tip with 12-14 rows of delicious kernels with a delicious sugar-sweet flavour. Vigorous plants give impressive crops.

A fun variety with tiny, red, jewel-like kernels, on compact, strawberry-shaped ears only 5cm (2in) long, 3-4 cobs per plant. To pop, simply place the entire cob in the microwave and watch it explode with ready to eat fluffy, white popped corn, or use as a colourful part of your autumn decorations.

Very attractive with its bicolouring of yellow and creamy white kernels, and outstandingly sweet and tasty too. The earliest variety T&M know of, with tender, mouth-watering kernels filled to the tip. A must for the kitchen garden.

Chartreuse-green unique colour, and suitable for semi-shaded sheltered sites.

Large double flowers and long rigid stems which make them ideal for cutting. The symmetrical form of each flower makes it a thing of beauty in itself. A good blend of the best colours with giant 11cm (4½in) blooms .
