The best sweet bicolor that we tasted in the fields, you will marvel over
Serendipity’s smooth, soft-crisp texture and ambrosial flavor. It is
actually known as a triple-sweet! a breeding breakthrough that creates
extra sugar and allows for an extended harvesting window. Serendipity is
able to retain its tender sweetness even when under stress from overly hot
temperatures. It produces fine 8” cobs, just under 2” in diameter, with 16
to 18 perfectly filled rows. The sweetest of summer treats! (F1.)
