Notes
'Country Gentleman Sweet Corn' (Zea mays 'Country Gentleman Sweet Corn') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 120 to 144 inches tall, so plant it where it will not shade shorter crops. Bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cucumber, and Nasturtium.
