Notes
'Double Red' corn (Zea mays 'Double Red') 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 matures in about 85 days and is open-pollinated, so you can save seed. Bees visit it, and it grows fast.
Pairs well with Quirk cucumber, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
