Corn (Sweet), Painted Hill Sweet Corn Seeds – Organic
1.350 KD
This colorful, open-pollinated sweet corn was developed from a cross of ‘Painted Mountain’ flour (Indian) corn with the heirloom sweet corn, ‘Luther Hill’. The 7″, multi-colored ears make a beautiful display, and every kernel is filled with robust, old-time corn flavor. Color is pale when fresh, but color intensifies when dried. Because ‘Painted Mountain’ was selected from the Rocky Mountains, ‘Painted Hill’ is adapted for short growing seasons and can germinate even in cool, wet soils.

Growing Info.:
Harvesting: Corn is ready about 3 weeks after the silks appear. Harvest when the silks are brown, but not dried, and the husks are dark green; ears should be plump, and rounded rather than pointed at the tip. To test for ripeness, gently pull back the husk and pop a kernel; the liquid should be whitish; if it is still clear, ears are not quite ready.
