Glass Gem Corn must be the most beautiful corn in the world, so gorgeous that it has provoked a bidding war where a pack of seeds sold for more than $100!
Extremely rare, this unique strain of flint corn was developed by Cherokee Carl Barnes, then almost disappeared until a curious farmer found a jar marked "Glass Gem" and planted a few in his garden. The spectacular plants that emerged blew him away. A photo on the internet went viral, gardeners went crazy bidding on the few seeds that remained (and promptly re-sold them at a profit). What's now being passed off as Glass Gem Corn is anyone's guess.
These seeds came from a serious researcher/farmer in Idaho and are guaranteed to be the original strain. They are sold in lots of 25 because corn must be planted in blocks (not rows). Too few plants will not pollinate themselves and you'll get bare cobs. If you're going to join this historic endeavor, might as well do it right.
Glass Gem is flint corn, used ornamentaly or ground for flour. Or planted again for another generation of astonishing beauty. If you have not grown corn before, look it up. You don't want to waste these very rare seeds. 105 days.
Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep, soil temperatures should be 70 degrees or warmer for best results.
Keep soil moist, but not soaking wet.

Love it Fast shipping Helpful seller Healthy plant Looks great Well packaged Great quality
Near 100% germination in one week. There were enough seeds to plant a 4x4 block and re-seed any slow starts before it's too late. I'm very excited about growing and sharing this rare variety!
I planted these about a week ago and they are coming up fast, looking healthy! Im excited to see their colors later in the season. :) Thank you!
Quickly shipped and packaged nicely for safe arrival. Great helpful hints and info page included. Also a sweet extra packet of lettuce seeds. So excited to get planted in our garden. Will be a return customer. 5 stars
