Double Red Sweet Corn Seeds

Double Red Sweet Corn (Sweet, SU, Normal Sugary)

(Zea mays)
100 seeds
SKU: DRC-1 100


This rare heirloom 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.

Harvest fresh for corn on the cob, or wait until it dries on the stalks for grinding (makes good cornmeal or grits too!).
