Notes
'Inspiration' corn (Zea mays 'Inspiration') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and as an accent. 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It is a sweet corn that takes 78 days to reach maturity. Bees visit it, and it grows fast.
Pairs well with Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato, Radish organic, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
