Description

The listing, Painted Hill Heirloom Sweet Corn: Organically Grown & Open Pollinated~25 Seeds Non-GMO has ended.

This colorful, open-pollinated sweet corn was developed from a cross of Painted mountain flour (Indian) corn with the heirloom sweet corn, Luther Hill. The 7" multi-colored ears make a beautiful display, and every kernel is filled with robust, old-time corn flavor. A unique variety that can be grown anywhere, Painted Hill is well adapted to short-season and northern gardens. Seed germinates even in cold soils, and plants will tolerate light frost so it can be sown several weeks earlier than other corn varieties.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm (60 - 65º F).

When to start inside: Not recommended; corn seed does not transplant well.

Special sowing instructions: easy to grow from seed. Since pollination occurs from wind, corn seed should be sown in short, parallel rows or blocks.

It is for eating. Heirloom sweet corn is not as sweet as the commercially grown sweet corn hybrids, but it is considered sweet corn when compared with other heirloom varieties. It tastes slightly sweet with a good corn flavor, hard to describe, I like it. It is much healthier than commercial sugary varieties. It would also make a nice ornamental, but if you are wanting it just for ornamental, I would go with " glass gem" corn. Google it, and you will be amazed! That kind would be my first choice for ornamental,as it looks like multi-colored gems, and is an heirloom as well. : )
