Corn is wind-pollinated, so plant it in a block of at least four short rows rather than one long row, or the ears come out gappy and half-filled. Handle the root ball gently, plant it out young before it gets rootbound, and feed nitrogen heavily when plants are knee-high and again when the tassels show. Shipped in a 4\" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 5-8 ft tall, 18-24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Outdoors - Grown as an annual in all zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Non-toxic to dogs and cats; cobs are a choking and blockage hazard for dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1.5 in per week, critical during tasseling and ear fill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, fertile, well-drained loam high in organic matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn is a heavy nitrogen feeder; side-dress at knee height and again at tasseling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5-8 ft tall, 18-24 in wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-toxic to dogs and cats; cobs are a choking and blockage hazard for dogs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it shipped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked to arrive healthy and shipped from our Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":49176858886361,"sku":"WG-SWEETCORNSTARTER-4IN","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pack","offer_id":49176858919129,"sku":"WG-SWEETCORNSTARTER-6PK","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/sweet-corn-starter-plant","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
