Notes

'Pink Popcorn' corn (Zea mays 'Pink Popcorn') is a vegetable for accent and food garden use. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is open-pollinated and takes 85 days to mature. Bees visit it, and it grows at a rapid pace.

Pairs well with GinFiz tomato, Salt and Pepper cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
