Notes
'Double Standard' corn (Zea mays 'Double Standard') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and as an accent. 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 a sweet corn that matures in 73 days. The tall, erect plants grow fast, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Honey Bee tomato, Saladin cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
