Notes
'Tutelo Strawberry Corn' (Zea mays 'Tutelo Strawberry Corn') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It can reach about 122 inches tall, so give it a roomy pot. Bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Sunflower, Cucumber, and Nasturtium.
