Peaches and Cream is a popular bicolor sweet corn known for ears that combine yellow and white kernels in the same cob, giving it its peaches-and-cream name. It is a sugary-enhanced (se) type valued for tender kernels and a sweet, mild flavor that holds well after harvest. Plants grow about six to seven feet tall and produce ears roughly eight inches long with an attractive mix of pale and golden kernels. Maturing in the mid season, generally around 75 to 85 days depending on the strain, it is a dependable choice for home gardens and farm stands where the two-tone ears are especially appealing to customers. Its combination of eye-catching bicolor appearance, good sweetness, and tender texture has kept it a long-standing garden favorite.
