Notes
'Black Falcon' corn (Zea mays 'Black Falcon') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands upright. Bees visit it, and it blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Blue Beech tomato, Gateway cucumber, and Nigra hollyhock.
