Hopi White Flour Corn (Zea mays) ($3.50)
This traditional flour corn from the American southwest is difficult to grow on the coast, as it needs 130 days to produce the 12 " cobs of shiny white kernels. Best started indoors in pots.
Painted Mountain Flour Corn (Zea mays) ($3.50)
Painted Mountain is not a sweet corn. It is highly decorative, and is used for flour or for ceremony. A short season corn (about 110 days on the coast) on 4-foot plants. Some cobs are solid red; others are combinations of blue, white, yellow, orange and pink, some with burgundy husks. Beautiful looking cobs.
Golden Bantam Corn (Zea mays) ($3.50)
Famous heirloom with real corn flavour! Not sugar-enhanced or the result of genetic tinkering. Produces two eight-inch cobs if well-fed and watered. Cook overmature ears, cut off kernels and dry them for winter soups.
Delight Bi-Colour Sweet Corn (Zea mays) ($3.50)
An open-pollinated bi-colour "peaches and cream" sweet corn, maturing about 5 days later than Golden Bantam. Cobs are about 6" long, with an average 12 rows of kernels.
