Not really for eating fresh off the cob, but the most beautiful ears of corn you’ll ever harvest! Fab for decorative projects, & kids love them. And back in the day, when I was a little hippie girl we used to make necklaces from this beautiful corn, with its gold, bronze, mauve, yellow, pink, green and blue kernels. Each cob varies in color combination. Can be ground into dent flour – excellent for tortillas! 6.5’ tall. 85-95 days.
