Though the striking color is other- worldly, the flavor of this one-of-a-kind jewel is more traditional-slightly less sweet than modern, very sweet hybrids. It was a labor of love to produce an open-pollinated corn that is loaded with beneficial anthocyanins (antioxidants), thanks to its Native American Hopi blue corn parents. Harvest fresh, or wait a bit longer and the sugar subsides, becoming perfect for breads or chowder, or wait even longer to harvest, and use the dried kernels for flour. This packet sows up to 22 feet.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F; ideally 65°-90°F.

When to start inside: Not recommended; roots sensitive to transplanting.

Special germination instructions: Pollination occurs by wind; for best kernel formation, sow in parallel rows or blocks.
