Notes
'Golden Bantam' corn (Zea mays 'Golden Bantam') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an 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 and stands erect, and bees visit it. This open-pollinated corn is ready to pick in 85 days.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Quirk cucumber, and Nigra hollyhock.
