Aren't you in corn country?
Seems like growing it should be fairly easy...
Personally, I wouldn't be so concerned about pollination... Hand pollination is a thing...
Thing is... With such a small planting... I'd be more interested in showy, and less concerned about taste.
I'm a fan of Zea mays Quadricolor Variegated Ornamental Corn...

The ears will have red kernels... And... Corn is corn...
It was funny how the crew at the blueberry patch made a big thing out of eating the "cow corn" in a previous season...
Anyone that had a sweet tooth... might want to search out the super sweet varieties...
When I planted sweet corn a number of years ago, I'd keep replanting from saved seed each year... Wasn't much difference in replanting hybrid seed... that I could tell,
Glass gem is pretty cool too...
As pretty as it was, as the corn ages, the colours get less bright...
Leaving hang on the side of the house meant that the birds soon found...
