Thanks so much to MG Amy Darte. We have lots of Glass Gem Corn in the Grow Flagstaff! Seed Library. Not only is this an interesting corn variety to grow, seeds come in these great little seed envelops make by Amy. This corn was grown at the Bus Stop Garden in 2020 and should be true to type. It has 100% germination.
Translucent kernels in a rainbow of colors.
A distinctive presentation in fall displays, the glassy-looking kernels are unique to this variety. Kernels can be popped, but results may vary. Glass Gem is something of a cross between true, modern popcorn and parching corn. Sturdy plants can reach 10' tall. Avg. ear size 6–8". Requires a fairly long growing season for favorable yields. Bred by the late Carl Barnes, an Oklahoma Cherokee who dedicated his life to reclaiming and preserving seed of traditional Native American corns.
Stop by the Grow Flagstaff! Seed Library and start your own Glass Gem Corn tradition.
