Notes
'Miniature Colored Popcorn' corn (Zea mays 'Miniature Colored Popcorn') is a vegetable for the food garden and for accents. 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 grows at a rapid rate and bees visit it. The small ears appeal to the young and young-at-heart.
Pairs well with Tiny Tim tomato, Picolino cucumber, and Dukat dill.
