Growing Non-GMO Miniature Colored Corn Vegetable Seeds

Directly sow them into the garden bed or field once soil temperatures are at least 60°F. The optimal germination temperature is 86°F. Plant these in blocks of four or more shorter rows rather than one long row; this encourages proper pollination of the cobs.

Keep the soil moist. Fertilize with a balanced feed if the plants look pale or have pale veins. For a continuous harvest, plant a new batch of seeds when the first planting peaks through the soil. Maintain a weed-free area around the plants to avoid competition. Optionally, seed a ground cover over the exposed soil to decrease weeds and retain soil moisture. A great way to increase pest resistance is to plant many varieties of plants together. If you want to collect pure seed, don’t plant multiple varieties of the same species in the same location.

Miniature Colored Corn in the Vegetable Garden

Miniature Colored Corn plants are just as ornamental as they are useful. The delicious kernels can be popped for consumption, or the cobs can be enjoyed as a delightful decoration. These tall plants work well in garden scenarios as backgrounds, climbing supports, or barriers for other plants.

Harvesting Miniature Multicolored Corn

Miniature Colored Corn cobs can be harvested once the husks have dried and turned brown. Grasp the cob in one hand and the stalk in the other, and then firmly twist the cob off the plant. It should easily break off the stalk.

About Miniature Multicolored Corn Garden Seeds

Native Americans would plant squash, beans, and corn together. This method utilizes the height of the corn, the climbing power of the beans, and the sprawling habit of the squash, all in the same square footage.

Use these cute cobs in wreaths, ornaments, bird feeders, and crafts! Try pulling back the dried husks and tieing 3-5 cobs together for a charming fall-inspired wall-hanging.

The Miniature Multicolored variety is an heirloom Native American-used corn variety. Not only is it ornamental, but edible! The kernels can be removed from the cob and popped with salt and oil or butter into a delightful snack. The popped kernels are white. Expect a fairly low popping percentage (about 50%).

As indicated in the growing instructions above, corn plants must be planted in blocks, not one or two long rows; this is because they pollinate each other through the wind. The closer the plants are together, the lower likelihood that there will be unpollinated and unusable corn cobs. Opt for blocks of corn rather than rows in your garden plan.

Tips From Our Gardeners
