This is the most beautiful corn we have ever grown or seen. It produces the full color spectrum in bright, vivid hues. Bred by Montana grower Dave Christiansen, it has been selected from more than 70 Indian corns for hardiness in short, cool mountain climates. Our crop grew to only 5-6 feet and produced 1-2 ears per plant. Great to grind for corn meal, flour, tortillas, etc.

    Plant Care Tips

    Be sure soil is about 80 F before planting corn seed. Corn seed is very prone to rotting in the ground if soil temps are too low or a rain storm comes through with cool weather. Sow seed 1/2 -3/4 inch deep in well amended soil. Corn thrives with high nitrogen. Final plant spacing should be about 1 ft apart. You may want to seed closer together and thin the plants to ensure you have a good patch.

    Corn can also be started in 1-2 inch cells and transplanted when about 2 inches tall. This method conserves seed and allows for adequate spacing.

    Allow flour corn to dry on plant and harvest sweet corn when it is ripe. Ripeness can be judged by the silks drying or by peeling back the husk to have a peek! For sweet corn, plant in succession to have a steady supply of corn. Corn will cross pollinate easily so if you wish to save pure seed you will need to separate from other varieties by at least 1⁄4 mile.

    What Our Customers Are Saying

    “Redwood Seeds is always my first choice, go to seed company, not only because I don’t want to support big agribusiness through my seed buying, but because their varieties are thoroughly superior, in climate resiliency, taste, and output. Their seed is among the many reasons I home grow…you just can’t get most of their heirlooms from the store.  I may not be monetarily rich- but I eat like a queen thanks to Redwood!”

    "Just wanted to thank you for your super wonderful lettuce seeds that have produced an incredible crop in our Arizona winter garden! Jericho is a definite favorite, but the Concept & Drunken Woman are running very close behind!! They're all so perfect for our wraps & salads. Neighbors just can't believe it!"

    Susan, Verified Customer

    "Hi we had great success with the Chinese red beans from your seeds this year! Super prolific, fast growing, high yield. Very fun to watch growing from our over head trellis and made it easy to pick all the beans! Will grow again next summer and increase the amount I plant!"

    Celen, Verified Customer

    "I really enjoy your seeds. As a Small Humboldt County California Farmer, I love being able to get seeds from nearby. All of the varieties I have purchased have produced very well. I get high quality, viable, well cared for seeds. I like that the selection is somewhat limited and straightforward. It makes it easy to choose and I know it will be a strong yummy plant."

    Dayna, Verified Customer

    "Year after year, I have been pleased with the quality seeds I receive from Redwood Seeds. I've had consistently excellent germination rates, discovered heat-tolerant varieties that are vital for the Sacramento Valley summers, and I love that they are open-pollinated so that I can save some seed for next year. I am always recommending Redwood Seeds to friends, and encourage novice gardeners to sign-up for Kalan's helpful gardening emails."
