25 X Rainbow Glass Gem Corn Seeds

DESCRIPTION

A stunningly beautiful flint / popcorn variety producing cobs in an endless kaleidoscope of colours with translucent kernels that shine brilliantly like glass beads

The plants are vigorous and can reach over 2m tall

The cobs can be dried for decorations, used as popping corn or ground for flour

To get fully mature cobs which have started to dry on the plant, this variety does ideally need to be started under cover in order to provide as long a growing season as possible

GROWING TIPS

Ensure the growing location is sheltered, has good drainage and enough humus to ensure the ground will not dry too quickly
Sow in early spring under cover in 3" pots, 1" deep for the earliest crop at a minimum temp of 65 F

 Warmth will aid germination rates

  Harden off before planting out.  
Corn must be planted in blocks, not as a single row to ensure good pollination

 This variety is vigorous and need space between plants
Cover any roots that appear at the base with mulch or old compost to retain moisture
Do not allow the crop to dry out during hot weather whilst flowering
These do need a long season to enable the cobs to start drying on the plants

Best in a sheltered, warm location
