Description

Golden Beauty Corn is a delicious heirloom sweet corn variety prized for its tender yellow kernels, dependable yields, and rich old-fashioned flavor. This vigorous open-pollinated variety produces heavy harvests of attractive 7-inch ears filled with 12–14 rows of sweet, juicy kernels perfect for fresh eating, freezing, and summer meals.

Originally introduced by Henry Fields in 1956, Golden Beauty quickly became a favorite among home gardeners and market growers alike for its early maturity and reliable performance. Well suited for short-season climates, this adaptable variety thrives in a wide range of soils and growing conditions while consistently producing flavorful ears with classic sweet corn taste.
