Notes

'Fisher' corn (Zea mays 'Fisher') is a vegetable for the food garden, an accent, and the annual bed. 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, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching up to 72 inches tall. It blooms from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Blauhilde pole bean, Buffalosun F1 tomato, and Nigra hollyhock.
