(100 Days) Shiny, brightly colored kernels are irresistible. Originally selected from crosses made between several Pawnee and Osage corn varieties. Sturdy plants grow 6-8' tall and are extremely productive with ears averaging 7-8" in length. Dry and use for decorations or popcorn, or grind for flour.

For best results, isolate from all other corn. When planting both ornamental corn and sweet corn in home gardens, plant the ornamental corn first to avoid cross-pollination. Wait three weeks, then plant the sweet corn.
