Notes
'Illusion' corn (Zea mays 'Illusion') is a vegetable grown for its early white ears and as an accent in the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The ears are a synergistic type with great flavor. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Black Beans bean, Lemon cucumber, and Teddy dill.
