Notes
'Montana Morado Maize' corn (Zea mays 'Montana Morado Maize') is a vegetable for accent planting and the food garden. 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 fast and stands erect, and bees visit it. It is an ornamental and dry field corn that takes 85 days to reach maturity.
Pairs well with Black Prince tomato, Persian basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
