Description

Our carefully‑selected heirloom corn seeds belong to open‑pollinated non‑hybrid maize strains passed down over generations. All shrivelled, broken kernels and sundry impurities are manually screened out to guarantee reliable high‑germination performance. These traditional corn varieties feature unique kernel colours, wonderful natural flavour and stable genetic traits. They adapt well to backyard gardens, raised planting beds, small‑scale family farms and landscape plots. Gardeners are allowed to collect mature healthy seeds from harvests for planting in the next growing season. The ripe corn can be used for fresh eating, cornmeal, popcorn, handmade crafts and autumn‑season ornaments.

Planting Guide

  1. Sowing time: Sow seeds once spring frost disappears, when steady soil temperature rises above 20℃
  2. Soil condition: Clear weeds, turn over the land and add decomposed organic compost, loose well‑drained loamy soil works best
  3. Sowing specification: Bury seeds 2‑4 cm underground, set 60‑70 cm row spacing and 20‑25 cm plant spacing. Plant several parallel rows for sufficient wind pollination
  4. Light condition: Choose full‑sun locations with over six hours of direct sunlight every day
  5. Water management: Keep top‑layer soil evenly moist after sowing, provide ample water when corn ears start to develop and prevent water‑logged ground
  6. Daily care: Clear weeds during the seedling phase, apply balanced organic fertilizer before jointing, watch out for corn borer damage
  7. Harvest time: Heirloom corn reaches full maturity within 90‑120 days after sowing, subject to specific varieties
