Notes
'Golden Colonel' corn (Zea mays 'Golden Colonel') is a vegetable for the food garden and accent planting. 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. It blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Derby bean, German Pink Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
