Notes
'Equinox' corn (Zea mays 'Equinox') is a vegetable for the food garden and as a tall 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 with an erect habit, and bees visit it. It also has disease resistance to Northern Corn Leaf Blight.
Pairs well with Clementine tomato, Unagi cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
