Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)

An ancient, wild grass, corn performs best when sown directly outdoors after the final spring frost when soil temperature is approaching 65º F. Plant 2-3 seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in loose, organically rich, well-drained soil. Thin to 1 plant every 12-18 inches once true leaves establish. Water soil regularly and directly. Avoid overhead watering which can damage the stalks. Harvest ripe ears by pulling firmly downwards and off the stalk while twisting.
