Notes
'True Gold Corn' (Zea mays 'True Gold Corn') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and containers. 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. Tall stalks reach about 47 to 122 inches, and the blooms draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cucumber, and Nasturtium.
