Zea mays is an erect, annual grass that is a valuable food crop, growing to varying dimensions according to the cultivar.
They have wavy, arching, light green leaves with a gritty/waxy texture.
Not the most ornamental plant, but the juicy, golden corncobs make them well worth it.
Bracts tightly enclose the cobs and there are a few different cultivars available that differ in size and the colour of the kernels.
Best grown in multiples in a square formation, ensuring they get maximum sun for best cropping.
