Notes
'Choices' corn (Zea mays 'Choices') is a vegetable for accent plantings and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is an ornamental and dry field corn that needs 105 days to reach maturity. Bees visit the red blooms.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Salad Bush cucumber, and Persian basil.
