Notes
'Natural Sweet' corn (Zea mays 'Natural Sweet') is a vegetable grown for sweet corn on the cob, with a place in the food garden and in large containers. 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 matures in 74 days and bees visit its summer blooms.
Pairs well with Pruden's Purple tomato, Saladin cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
