Notes
'Iochief' corn (Zea mays 'Iochief') is a vegetable for the food garden and as a tall accent. 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 grows fast and stands erect, and it blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Derby bean, Queen Bee tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
