Variegated corn (Zea mays var. gracillima 'Variegata') grows up to 6 feet tall, but usually hovers between 3 and 4 feet. Unlike the other annual grasses, it is grown for its beautifully shaded leaves that are striped with green and pure white. The cobs never grow very large, and the silk just adds interest to the plants. Corn is a heavy feeder, so always plant it in fertile soil, add fertilizer at monthly intervals, and never skimp on water. Try growing variegated corn in 8-inch pots, and group a few for an effective outdoor terrace decoration. |
