Notes
'Honey' corn (Zea mays 'Honey') is a vegetable for the food garden and for an accent along a bed edge. 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 is a hybrid that grows fast and stands erect. It is ready to pick about 79 days after planting.
Pairs well with Seychelles bean, Buffalosun F1 tomato, and Nigra hollyhock.
