The listing, Indian Corn Seeds has ended.

Indian Corn Seeds, ready for planting.

These corn plants take no special care from regular corn- I simply cannot fathom why more people do not grow it!

Several loose seeds will be sent.
Questions & Comments

Start the Indian corn as early as possible. Indian corn requires a long growing season. Plant at least three months before the first autumn frosts in your area.

Plant Indian corn at least 100 feet from other types of corn. If you plant several different varieties of corn in the same area, cross-pollination may occur and you might not get the type of corn you planted.
Grow at least 5 rows of corn. The more rows of Indian corn you grow, the more likely they will pollinate. Corn is wind pollinated for the most part, but the closer and more dense you plant corn in a block, the better the pollination

Keep the Indian corn well watered during hot summer months. Corn uses a high amount of water for ear production.

Harvest long after the hair on the corn turns brown. Pull back the husk of the ear of corn slightly. Then check to see if the corn is made. Indian corn kernels will likely be all different colors (unless you get a specialty color like blue or all red). The kernels should also be firm to the touch and dry. Gently pull down on the "ripe" ear and pop it off the stalk. Hang up the corn for a few days in a warm place to dry. Then it's ready to use.

I do have some of those, BUT this auction isn't for those. I am not 100% sure these are non gmo so I cannot guarantee it, even though I'm pretty sure. If I were you, go to seed savers exchange- thats where I got my two guaranteed nongmo varieties blue jade and red butcher. They are like 4.00 each but grow WELL
