Notes
'Latte' corn (Zea mays 'Latte') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands upright. Bees visit it, and it is a reliable first-early producer.
Pairs well with Supersweet 100 tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
