Notes
'Striped Japonica Corn' (Zea mays 'Striped Japonica Corn') is a vegetable for borders, containers, 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It can reach about 47 to 122 inches tall, so give it space. Bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cucumber, and Nasturtium.
