Corn is an annual, light- and heat-loving crop from the sweet grass family. There are large differences between varieties in terms of color, shape and size of the cobs, and plant growth height. Corn can serve as a windbreak for sensitive plants.
Origin:
Mittelamerika
Corn can be sown directly into the bed or grown in advance as a seedling in pots. It is very sensitive to frost, which means that it can be sown or planted in the bed only after the Ice Saints. Also, corn loves sun and heat, so look for him a sunny spot in the garden. It is pollinated by wind, which means that you should cultivate several plants next to each other to guarantee optimal pollination. By mounding soil around the stems, you increase the stability of the plants. This way they can develop supporting roots with which they can hold on.
