Notes
'Calico Popcorn' corn (Zea mays 'Calico Popcorn') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, and bees visit it. Plan on 120 days to maturity from an open-pollinated seed.
Pairs well with Blush tomato, Quick Snack cucumber, and Nigra hollyhock.
