Notes
'Kickoff XR' corn (Zea mays 'Kickoff XR') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. This corn is an early, flavorful, super sweet type that grows at a rapid rate. Its erect stalks also draw bees.
Pairs well with Estiva tomato, Telegraph Cucumber English, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
