“Plants have tricolour foliage and look best when grown in a sheltered area, away from high winds. Raccoons and other critters like the small corn cobs produced in late summer.” —Rodger Tschanz, Trial Garden Manager, University of Guelph

More info:

Fast-growing plants with variegated green, white and rose long, strappy leaves. Try seeding it directly in containers — it grows that fast! Small cobs produce dark kernels that can be popped.
