Notes
'Northern Lights Corn' (Zea mays 'Northern Lights Corn') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It can reach about 47 to 122 inches tall, so give it room. Its summer blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cucumber, Nasturtium, and Borage.
