Flint / Four Corn
110 days — Although 'Indian Ornamental' corn, also known as 'Rainbow', is a flour corn variety, its beautiful and varied kernel colors have made it popular for drying and for using as ornamental ears for fall season decorations and market sales. The ears range from seven to nine inches in length and are multi-colored.
Although it can be used as roasting or frying ears when young, it is generally used for flour and meal, but can also be used for parching. Each ounce is approximately 100 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Soil must be at least 65ºF to germinate. Be patient and do not plant too early or you will waste a lot of seed! Plant in full sun and keep it watered. Corn is a wind-pollinated plant. Plant in blocks several rows wide to ensure full ears.
Sow seeds about 1½ to 2½ inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. Thin to 6 to 12 inches apart.
