Notes

'Montana Red Eagle Corn' (Zea mays 'Montana Red Eagle Corn') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. Give it full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Plants reach about 36 inches tall and bring butterflies and bees to the garden.

Pairs well with Sunflower, Borage, and Nasturtium.
