This amazing gemstone coloured corn is a delight to the eyes, as well as a food crop of multiple uses.

Glass Gem Corn is a beautiful rainbow coloured heirloom flintcorn that can be popped for popcorn, or ground for flour.
No two cobs look the same, inviting them to be displayed ornamentally with the husks pulled back.

These Glass Gem corn plants are easy to grown through the Summer months, all you need is a sunny site with compost rich, well watered garden bed.

Allow the corn to grow and dry on the plant, then harvest and fully dry the cobs before removing the kernels to store.

Great for children’s gardens, NZ school gardens, home or community gardens.
Encourage little people to help sow seeds, care for the plant, grow their own food, and car for the soil.
