Krispy King produces truly gourmet, crisp, yellow corn that measures about 8″ (20 cm) long. The deliciously sweet kernels have outstanding quality, superb taste, and good shelf life. Ears have a tight protective husk and snap off easily from the stalk. To ensure proper pollination, plant at least 4 plants in a square pattern. Krispy King has excellent cool soil tolerance and benefits from the addition of manure.
