Corn ~ Glass Gem

A truly extraordinary heirloom, Glass Gem is renowned for its luminous, jewel-like kernels that shimmer in shades of sapphire, amethyst, amber, and rose. Carefully stewarded and shared by Carl Barnes, this variety carries both cultural significance and visual wonder. Each ear is uniquely patterned, making it as beautiful in autumn displays as it is useful in the kitchen. Traditionally grown as a flint corn, it can be ground into richly colored cornmeal or popped when harvested at the right stage. Tall, vigorous plants perform well in Canadian gardens with a full, warm season. A celebration of diversity, heritage, and seed stewardship. 90-100 days
