Mirai® bicolor super-sweet hybrid corn has great performance and flavor. The ears grow a large 7 1/2" in length and have superb tip fill. Moderately tolerant to common rust and Stewart’s bacterial wilt. IT’S A NEW CLASS OF SWEET CORN! Supersweet types (SH2) have high sugar for shipping but are tough and do not have good corn flavor. Sugar Extenders types (SE) are very tender and have good flavor but are not sweet and sugary. Types (SU) have old-time sweet corn flavor but are not tender or sweet. Combining these 3 types of sweet corn give Mirai customers their truly unique, one-of-a-kind “Mirai Experience” of the best taste, flavor and texture available in sweet corn today. Mirai will hold its quality for 10-14 days when kept in the refrigeration in the husk.
In the development of Mirai there has been NO genetic modification or biotechnology traits applied. Mirai has been created through natural selection.
This is an SH2-type (supersweet type) and should not be planted next to SU (sugary) or S (sugary extended). Isolation is at least 50 feet from all except SH2. Do not use Accent herbicide. Mirai® bicolor corn is available in treated seed only.
