Heirloom & Open Pollinated Corn
All seeds are grown 100% naturally.
Wiggins Corn (field, flint type)
(Zea mays)
100 seeds
SKU: WIG-1 100
This is a very special, rare variety flint type field corn.
Multi colored (white, yellow, blue, & red).
High resistance to weevils in storage.
By far the best grinding corn for cornmeal and grits around.
Large diameter, 14 inch long cobs.
Tall (12 feet or higher) stalks that are some of the most resilient to wind lodging of any variety of corn we have grown, despite being so tall.
Direct sow in garden or field in spring 8 inches apart in rows. Corn is wind pollinated so it is imperative that it be planted in a block of at least 5 rows. Corn can handle a frost, but may not germinate well in cool wet soil.
100 days
Harvest fresh for corn on the cob (even though its a field corn, it is still delicious when harvested young), or wait until it dries on the stalks.

Double Red Sweet Corn (Sweet, SU, Normal Sugary)
(Zea mays)
100 seeds
SKU: DRC-1 100
This rare open pollinated sweet corn variety is truly one of a kind! As far as red corn goes, double red is as dark as it gets (almost purple to black). In fact, the plants are so loaded with anthocyanin pigments that the leaves, stalks & husks are deep red as well. Anthocyanin pigments are a natural source of anti-oxidants & act as an anti-inflammatory.
5-7 foot tall plants produce 1 to 2 ears per stalk.
Direct sow in garden or field in spring 8 inches apart in rows. Corn is wind pollinated so it is imperative that it be planted in a block of at least 5 rows. Corn can handle a frost, but may not germinate well in cool wet soil.
85 days
Harvest fresh for corn on the cob, or wait until it dries on the stalks for grinding (makes good cornmeal or grits too!).
