73 Days. Anthem XR was a real standout in our test plots. Large 7.75-8" ears have a great eating quality, strong tip fill, and excellent tenderness and sweetness. The ears are set at 20" high on 5' plants that have resistance to rust (Rp1-G). Anthem XR's ears are covered with a dark green husk, ample flags and they are easy to harvest from the plant. 16-18 rows of very straight yellow and white kernels fill the ear. Excellent yield potential and quality make Anthem XR a real winner in our eyes.
Note: Anthem XR is a conventional sweet corn variety and is not to be confused with Anthem XR II which is the bio tech version. Anthem XR should not be sprayed with glyphosate.
