Notes
'Superb MXR' corn (Zea mays 'Superb MXR') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, and bees visit it. Gardeners call it a main-season workhorse with bicolor kernels.
Pairs well with Abigail tomato, Cool Customer cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
