Your cart is empty.An ancient, wild grass, corn performs best when sown directly outdoors after the final spring frost when soil temperature is approaching 65o F. Plant 2-3 seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in loose, organically rich, well-drained soil. Thin to 1 plant every 12-18 inches once true leaves establish. Water soil regularly and directly. Avoid overhead watering which can damage the stalks. Harvest ripe ears by pulling firmly downwards and off the stalk while twisting.

Planted in 2024, and only had 60 percent germination. Corn produced was okay.

Got these as a gift for a gardener I know. they were going for the 3 sisters planting and being heirloom they should be able to save back viable seed for the next planting. They report that the seeds germinated well, seedlings are strong.

I’ve had these in the past and they work well, but this time I plant them twice and they wouldn’t germinate.

Overall I had good success planting these. Most of them sprouted (I think only 2 out of 16 didn’t). As they are growing though, I’m noticing that a couple of them have purple silks and tassels, while the others are the light yellow that is common with corn we see in the store. I don’t know if this is a sign that something is wrong, or if it’s a different variety that somehow made it into this batch of seeds. They haven’t grown to maturity yet, so I can’t speak for that. But they are growing tall and even caught up to some that I had planted earlier in the year.

It sprouted easily, can’t state what it tastes like until we come to that point.

I started this corn in 3 rows in a small garden immediately after night frosts had stopped. The seeds may have survived a couple of slight frosts, though I can't say for certain. They grew quickly, and I watered them about once every 3 days, with a small amount of fertilizer. My garden is in Northern Minnesota, and this was in partial shade and in sandy soil. Once it was time to harvest, the corn did get to a nice size, though they weren't fertilized fully so they all had missing kernels and 1 mutation. I assume that is due to my inexperience and the small volume of corn to allow for pollination.

Purchased several bags of seed as I was late to planting and the Golden Bantam is fast germinating corn. I did soaked the seeds in a cup of water with a cap-full of Hydrogen Peroxide for 24 hours. After 3 days the seeds started to root in cup with a moist paper towel over the seeds. 7 days after soaking the seeds went into the ground. A week later they came up and have they passed the knee-high by the 4th of July test for height. Can't wait for cobs to start developing! One hint, I didn't start all the seeds at once. Staggered the soaking and planting. Tick I learned from a PA Corn Famer is not to plant all at once since a week of high temps can wreak the pollination just when the corn is setting. Which will result in no corn for your work. Staggering the planting allows for pollination at different times.
