Tiny ears of corn. This variety produces up to 20 tiny ears on its multi-stalked plants. For baby corn, pick just after the silk shows at the tips of ears, or leave to dry on the cobs for popcorn! An unusual and flavourful variety. Cobs are pale when picked young and if left on the plant mature to a red colour.

Stunning glossy colours! Translucent kernels shine like glass and resemble glass beads on the cob. The 8-16cm ears are not only decorative, but edible and delicious as well. Can be used as popping corn and for grinding into flour or when young the cobs can be cooked. Sturdy plants reach up to 2.5m tall.

This great heirloom variety produces 1.6-1.8m tall maize plants maturing at around 80 days. The ears of corn are simply the sweetest you will ever taste!

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.

Sweet Corn Bloody Butcher is truly a fabulous heirloom corn with blood-red kernels in gorgeous wine-red husks. This is a long season corn, and bears 20-30cm ears on tall over 2m stalks. The immature ears can be eaten like sweet corn, but the mature corn can be ground for an exquisite red corn flour or used for decoration. Drought resistant.

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.

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.

High yields and great flavour makes this a great grower. Sturdy 1.5m stalks produce 2-3 ears with 12-14 rows of kernels for easy popping. 110 days.

A popular white South African maize.

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.
