Glass Gem Corn, Organic

Carl Barnes, a Seedsavers Exchange member, worked to develop this strain of glass colored kernals.  They are used in crafts, decor, cornmeal and popcorn.  The work on improving the corn continues with Greg Schoen.  1-2 ears per stalk, ears are 6-8 long and plants grow to 8' tall.  Late maturing 110 days. We source this from a variety of places depending on availability.
