This unusual corn originally from Southern Mexico produces dark blue kernels
Grown mainly as an ornamental, its young 'baby' corns are edible, but becomes
tougher when older, growing to a length of around 5 - 10 cm. It was originally dried, ground and used as a corn flour, but makes a great popping corn. Plants can grow up to 1 meter or more in height. Ready to harvest in around 100 days.
Corns enjoy a well drained fertile soil and plenty of water!
