Notes
'Painted Mountain' corn (Zea mays 'Painted Mountain') is a vegetable for food gardens and as a garden accent. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands upright, and it ripens early with multicolor kernels. Bees visit it.
Pairs well with Huckleberry Gold potato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
