Ornamental Corn Little Jewels produces stunning, multi-colored cobs filled with jewel-like kernels in rich shades like yellow, red, purple, and dark tones. It thrives in warm weather, grows best in garden beds, and prefers full sunlight for strong plants and well-filled cobs. This compact plant is easy to grow, but not for eating.
💐 Growing Guide
-
Setup: Sow directly in soil or use a tray for early start, using a loose, fertile, well-draining mix.
-
Sow: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep. Keep spacing 8–12 inches between plants (more space = stronger stalks).
-
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist until germination, then water deeply when the top soil starts to dry.
-
Sunlight: Full sun gives the best growth and better cob formation.
-
Transplant: Move seedlings to separate pots when they have 2-3 true leaves.
-
Pests: Use neem oil for pest control when pests are detected.
-
Harvest: Harvest when the husks dry and cobs feel firm.
