Description
The "Bicolour" cultivar of Sweet Corn (Zea mays ssp. Mays) is a garden delight, boasting kernels in both golden yellow and creamy white hues on a single cob. This tall, statuesque plant not only provides delicious, juicy produce but also adds a vertical element to the garden, captivating onlookers with its striking green foliage. Whether enjoyed grilled, steamed, or eaten right off the stalk, its sweet flavour is a summer sensation.
For optimal growth, "Bicolour" Corn should be planted in the ground or sizeable pots within a vege/herb garden, ensuring it's positioned in full sunlight. In sandy soils, enriching with a quality soil conditioner is paramount. Water consistently, especially during the flowering and kernel development stages. As Djilba (late winter to early spring) approaches, fertilise with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser to support robust growth. Approximately 70 to 90 days post-planting, your corn will be ripe for harvesting, promising a mouthful of sweetness with each bite.
