Once a staple corn of the Hopi people, this corn can be eaten as a colorful sweet corn when young, or allowed to dry it can be used to make traditional blue corn flour. Hopi Blue has 30% more protein content than other dent corns.  The 7 inch, dried blue ears make great autumn decorations and the kernels can be ground into cornmeal. Plants are 5-6 feet tall.
Corn seeds will keep for years if dry storage is used.
Plant in spring. Needs
warm soil
and water to germinate. Plant corn in square blocks rather than rows for better pollination. Frost kills corn.
Corn,
or
maize
, wouldn’t exist as we know it if not for ancient humans who developed it from fields of ancient grain. Corn as we know it was developed by humans over centuries from a grass called
teosinte
. (Most people think of corn as a vegetable, but it’s really a grain). Scientists believe that corn was developed by the native peoples living in central Mexico over 7,000 years ago. The natives throughout North and South America eventually depended on maize for most of their diet. Corn spread throughout the Americas and was discovered by explorers from Europe who had never seen corn. There are numerous varieties of corn nowadays.
Most corn needs high nitrogen. Composted manure makes an excellent base as well as green cover crops like red clover and fava beans.
