Corn, Ornamental, Painted Mountain Organic
ORGANIC (80-100 Days) A fantastic composite of heirloom corns, hand-selected and maintained by Dave Christensen of Big Timber, Montana. Super-hardy, frost- and drought-tolerant plants grow only 4-6' tall and produce ears up to 12" long filled with bright, colorful kernels. Grown worldwide as a nutritious grain with a protein content up to 14%. Great for grinding, but also excellent fresh in soups, chowders and hominy.
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.
