Vision MXR Corn is a yellow super sweet hybrid that delivers genuine flavor satisfaction in just 75 days. This F1 hybrid combines the best of super sweet genetics with conventional breeding to create corn that tastes as good as it looks. The variety comes from Johnny's Selected Seeds and brings disease resistance to three major corn threats: MDMV, NCLB, and R. It's a compact bush-type grower, making it manageable in smaller gardens while still producing that milky-kerneled sweetness home gardeners chase.

Yellow kernels packed with genuine sweetness come ready to harvest in under 12 weeks, giving you fresh corn from mid-summer plantings. The super sweet genetics mean kernels stay tender and flavorful, not starchy and tough, especially when you keep it isolated from standard corn varieties. Disease resistance to three major corn pathogens removes a significant headache from the growing season.
Fresh eating straight from the cob remains the primary draw. The super sweet kernels are excellent for freezing at peak ripeness and hold their quality well through winter storage. Raw kernels work beautifully in salads and salsas, where the tender texture and concentrated sweetness shine without cooking.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Direct sow seeds after the last frost date when soil temperature reaches 60°F or warmer. Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep, spacing them 8-10 inches apart in rows 30 inches wide.
Harvest when kernels reach full and milky stage, typically indicated by drying and browning of the ear silks. Corn is ready to eat 18-24 days after silks first appear, with timing accelerating in warmer weather. Snap ears downward and away from the stalk with a quick, firm motion. The warmer your growing conditions, the sooner you should pick; cooler seasons require the full window toward 24 days.

“Vision MXR represents modern hybrid breeding focused on crossing super sweet corn genetics with conventional varieties to achieve superior flavor and disease tolerance. The variety carries the sh2 (shrunken2) gene characteristic of super sweet corn, which naturally reduces starch and elevates sugar content compared to traditional sweet corn. This genetic approach allows breeders to combine the taste advantage of super sweets with broader disease resistance than many specialized varieties offer.”
