Colourful corn used to be the norm, and the Mandan tribe of North Dakota took it to the next level. Grown for making maize flour, and a traditional component of the “three sisters” combination of maize, beans, and squash, this traditional maize variety is sure to delight. Although the kernels are rather hard for eating, you’ll love weaving strings of conversation-starting ears of corn together or displaying them as a dried arrangement in bowls. Kernals exhibit varying shades of dark maroon and purple.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Although you can skip this step, your seeds will come up much faster if you soak them overnight before sowing. Plant them directly in the place they’re to grow, spacing them 20 cm apart.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest immature cobs when the kernals are yellow and white if you want to eat as a sweet corn. The rainbow cobs will develop if the cobs are left on the plant to dry.
