 This predominantly dark blue 8-row flint corn grows very much like 680 Painted Mountain, which is 50% of its ancestry. The other half comes from a composite of 20 of the fastest-maturing New England flint corns. The short efficient native-type plants produce long narrow ears that dry quickly, critical in short growing seasons. Save seed to replant! With each selection, this corn with its diverse ancestry will become more adapted to where you live. 2022 Fedco introduction. Independent Breeder.
