Notes
'Oaxacan Green' corn (Zea mays 'Oaxacan Green') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. 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 is grown for emerald green kernels for cornmeal. Bees visit it.
Pairs well with Huckleberry Gold potato, Mojito cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
