About your only options in the three foot tall class, are Blue Jade, Orchard Baby and Helwig Sweet. Orchard baby has mixed reviews. More choices are availble in 4-5 ft class. Seeds of Change promotes Hooker's Sweet Indian. Golden Bantam will average around 5 feet and is the best open pollinated corn that I have tried. Many of the 60 - 70 day hybrids will be under 5 ft. Examples are Sunglo, Silver knight, Trinity, Quickie ... Ihave not found any of the extra earlies to have the flavor of a main season cultivar. This is Silver Knight, the best of the ones that I have tried. I don't container garden so have no idea how well any of the would do.

Here is a link that might be useful: short sweet corn.
