'Field Of Dreams' Decorative Corn Unveiled

Well, ‘Field Of Dreams’ zea, that is. And zea as in corn. Floranova is unveiling its much-talked about decorative corn during the California Spring Trials. Sales won’t be made so much because of the corn ‘Field Of Dreams’ produces, but because of the variety’s unique variegated leaves.

Kate Monaghan, the supply chain director for Floranova’s Vegetalis line, says you can easily control the size of ‘Field Of Dreams’ by the size of the pots ‘Field Of Dreams’ is grown in. Monaghan also says ‘Field Of Dreams’ prefers dry conditions. The drier the conditions, the more impressive the variegation on the leaves gets.

‘Field Of Dreams’ is just one exciting new variety in the Vegetalis line, though. Another standout is ‘Cherry Falls’ tomato, whose name is perfect considering its tomatoes are a bright cherry read and whose habit cascades like an elegant waterfall. Plant ‘Cherry Falls’ on the edge of a raised bed and watch hundreds of tomatoes stream downward throughout the summer.

Peppers are a Vegetalis specialty, as well, and ‘Chezno,’ ‘Loco’ and ‘Basket Of Fire’ are new options.
