Allure Corn is a sweet corn cultivar that reaches harvest in just 75 days, offering gardeners a relatively quick path from seed to table. This Zea mays variety thrives in full sun with moderate water and produces edible ears ready for picking at peak sweetness. Direct sow seeds in spring after frost danger passes, spacing them 4 inches apart in rows 24 inches wide, and you'll have tender, milky kernels within weeks.

Allure Corn matures in 75 days, making it a practical choice for gardeners working with shorter growing seasons or those eager for an early summer harvest. The kernels are at their best when harvested at the milky stage, and timing matters: ears lose their natural sweetness quickly if left too long on the stalk, especially during warm weather above 85°F. This variety rewards frequent, careful monitoring during the harvest window.
Allure Corn is grown for fresh eating. The ears are best enjoyed soon after harvest, when the kernels are plump and filled with their characteristic milky juice. Steaming, boiling, or grilling are traditional preparations that highlight the corn's natural sweetness at its peak.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks before your intended transplant date. Be careful not to let seedlings become root-bound, and handle roots gently when moving them to the garden to avoid damage.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the frost-free date once they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Plant at the same depth they were growing in containers.
For direct sowing, make furrows about 6 to 8 inches deep. Spread 3 to 5 pounds of complete fertilizer per 100 square feet of bed, then backfill the furrow and sow seeds. Cover seeds with soil or sifted compost and keep the bed consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
Harvest Allure Corn when the kernels are full and milky, checking frequently during the harvest window, especially if temperatures exceed 85°F. The ears are ready when they feel firm with a rounded or blunt tip, and the silks have dried and begun to brown. Pick ears by pulling them down and twisting them free from the stalk. Cool the ears as quickly as possible after harvest to preserve their sweetness and texture.
