Notes

'Signature XR' corn (Zea mays 'Signature XR') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. 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. This early-midseason bicolor corn is grown for excellent eating quality. It grows fast and stands erect, and bees visit it.

Pairs well with Socrates cucumber, Abigail tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
