Cultivation method:
Sow 'Allure' sweet corn seeds directly in the garden when the soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C), usually 2 weeks after the last frost. Plant 1 to 1.2 inches (25 to 30 cm) deep, spacing plants 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60 to 90 cm) apart. For best pollination, grow in blocks of multiple rows rather than in a single row.
Corn prefers soil rich in organic matter, well-drained and exposed to full sun. Water regularly, especially during the growing season. To maximize yields, combine it with companion plants such as beans and squash, creating a symbiosis that is beneficial for growth.
Harvest the cobs when the kernels are well filled and release a milky liquid when squeezed. 'Allure' sweet corn provides a generous and delicious harvest, perfect for eating fresh or preserving.
