Botanical Name
Zea mays
A tough and unique heirloom variety. Not only does it have a dazzling array of kernel colours (oranges, golds, reds and purples) it is cold tolerant, early and uses less water than other corn! Grows to about 1.5 m and produces 2 cobs (20+ cm long) per plant. This nutritious corn can be eaten fresh, roasted or ground for flour to make flat bread, muffins, cakes. Also very ornamental.
