Notes
'Ultra Violet' corn (Zea mays 'Ultra Violet') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and as an accent. 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 is a sweet corn that matures in 80 days. The erect plants grow fast and draw bees.
Pairs well with Green Bee tomato, Parisian Gherkin F1 cucumber, and Pesto Perpetuo basil.
