Notes
'Erie' corn (Zea mays 'Erie') is a vegetable for accent planting and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate and stands erect. Its flowers appear from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Dragon Tongue bush bean, German Johnson tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
