Notes

'Allure' corn (Zea mays 'Allure') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and as an accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is a sweet corn that reaches maturity in 75 days. Bees visit it, and it grows fast.

Pairs well with Estiva tomato, Honey Rock cantaloupe, and Persian basil.
