Why do you want non-hybrid sweetcorn?
So I can save the seed and get the same variety for the next year!
I don't think it would work; as I mentioned before, I think all
sweet
corn, like all our cereals, is the product of hybridisation.
I don't think this is universally right Mike. I know that some of the
old forms of sweet corn can still be bought (at least in Oz) but I
don't know how they'd go in a cooler UK growing season (although given
that many UK gardeners seem to have access to tunnel houses etc, then
that should help it grow. The firm mentioned below has a range of
corn including Bali and Anasasi corn
