This old Mexican heirloom variety produces 18cm ears on approximately 180cm plants. When the kernels are still light coloured, the ears can be picked and used as sweet corn. Allowing the ears to mature, the kernels turn black, grey-black, or bluish-black in colour. Harvested at that mature stage, it can be dried and ground for corn meal.

This open pollinated variety maturing at 120 days produces large cobs of green mealies which are perfect for cooking or braai. Has a long shelf life.

This interesting heirloom corn dates all the way back to 1890. The white cobs have irregular rows and great flavour. Country Gentleman is one of the most unusual sweet corns around because its white kernels are arranged irregularly, not in rows. The kernels are also very deep and narrow. Developed around 1890 in the Connecticut River Valley, it is a much bigger form of a very old variety. In fertile soils, it can yield three ears per stalk, sometimes more. It is a beautiful corn with wonderful texture and flavour.

This great heirloom variety produces 5 to 6ft tall maize plants maturing at around 80 days. The ears of corn are simply the sweetest you will ever taste!

A popular white South African maize.

Some of the colours produced may include cream, burgundy, gold, bronze, and brown, among others. The seed heads at the top of the plant vary from 16" to 24". They can be cut and used for decoration, or the seeds can be removed so that the broom straw can be used to make homemade whisks or brooms. Beautifully decorative.

The beautiful ears of corn come in various shades of green. The kernels are dented and have been used for centuries in Mexico for grinding into flour and making the famous green flour tamales. The ears are 15-25cm long. Plants reach up to 2m tall and are known to be drought-tolerant.

This is a really fun one to grow. The ears are the size, shape, and colour of a large strawberry. Also, kids love to see them pop. After drying, throw the whole cob with the seeds on it into the microwave and watch it jump around and kernels go flying.
