This stunning corn gives you a show even as it grows. The variegated leaves are striped with bright pink, white and green and the cobs themselves are deep red. Often thought of as purely ornamental, this heirloom corn in fact makes delicious popcorn or can be ground into cornmeal when fully dried. You can even try making the traditional Mexican hot drink atole.

Best started under cover in April in module trays, it is fast growing so don’t start too early. Sweetcorn needs a bit of warmth in the soil for germination, so if you’re starting in April, keep them on a windowsill or sunny greenhouse until they take off. Plant out only when all risk of frost has passed.
Plant in ‘blocks’ or rectangle patterns to give the best chance of good pollination. The sweet flavour will be comprimised with cross polination with other corns so keep as much distance as possible from other varieties and sow 2 weeks apart so they flower at different times.
Sowing Months: February – May
