Growing Instructions
Sow indoors a few weeks before last frost and set outside when danger of freezing temperatures have passed, or for best results direct sow anytime from 2 weeks after the last frost until July. Under ideal growing conditions, many varieties will grow to be 8 feet tall, but the plants dont need staking. Corn is self infertile, so it is important to plant them as a patch. These plants are resilient, and don't need much beyond plenty of nutrients, mulch, and regular watering. Corn thrives best in full sun, but will also yield a decent harvest when grown in partial shade. It can grow in just about any type of soil, and doesn’t seem to be particular to a medium PH, but the soil needs to be free draining of water.
