Notes
'Pink Zebra' ornamental corn (Zea mays 'Pink Zebra') is a vegetable for accents 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, average moisture, and loamy or clay soil. It grows fast and stands erect, so it makes a tall backdrop in the bed. It blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Seychelles bean, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Nigra hollyhock.
