Glass Gem Open-pollinated Corn Seeds

This corn is the most eye-catching of ornamental corns and it can also double as a popcorn! Kernels are translucent and brightly-colored with colors including blue, green, and pink. Plants grow quite tall, from 8-10 ft and bear ears high on the plant. Like all corns, it is best grown in a block, 3-4 rows wide, to maximize pollination. Space plants at least 12 inches each way. This variety was developed by Cherokee native Carl Barnes in Oklahoma using traditional corn varieties. Kernels may be ground into cornmeal as well as popped, although not all kernels may pop. In humid climates, pick ears as soon as husks begin to brown, pull back husks, and place in a warm, dry place with good airflow. 110-120 days from seed to harvest. Seed produced in Morgantown, WV. Germination 99% 12-25-23.
