🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Zea mays var. ceratina

• Common Name: Purple Waxy Corn / Sticky Corn / Glutinous Corn

• Plant Type: Annual warm-season vegetable

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Essential: Requires at least 6–8 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight daily to develop strong stalks and sweet ears).

• Soil / Medium: Prefers rich, fertile, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. A soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8 is ideal.

• Watering: Requires regular, deep watering, especially during tassel development and ear formation. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.

• Growth Habit: Tall, upright stalks reaching 6–8 feet. For proper wind pollination and full cob development, always plant corn in blocks (at least 4 rows side-by-side) rather than a single long row.

• Temperature: Warm-season crop. Sow seeds directly outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have reached at least 65°F (18°C).

💡 Pro Growing Tip

To prevent cross-pollination and keep your waxy corn sticky and deep purple, isolate this variety from standard sweet corn or field corn by a distance of at least 250 feet, or time your plantings so they tassel two to three weeks apart. Harvest the ears when the silks turn dark brown and the kernels are plump and milky—this is the peak window for that signature waxy, chewy texture!
