Notes
'Stowell' corn (Zea mays 'Stowell') is a vegetable for the food garden and as an accent. 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 works well at the back of a bed. It blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Velour bean, Orange Hat Tomato tomato, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
