HEIRLOOM. A very rare landrace variety from the mountains of North Carolina, and one of the most interesting we’ve ever grown. As with all landraces, there is significant variation in the cob size, but what we’ve noticed is that many plants produce huge cobs – with up to 20 rows of kernels! The seeds are yellow with white ends (thus the term “white capped”). We obtained our original seed stock from the USDA and have high hopes for its genetic potential for both breeding and climate resilience. (“Landrace” means a variety that has been grown in one region for a long time, and not strictly selected for uniformity – ie, it has been selected for high performance in a particular place, but retains lots of genetic diversity.)
¼ lb package contains a minimum of 350 seeds.

Good pack of seeds with a healthy germination rate. Seeds are large and clean when they arrived and are growing healthy. Using a cheap grow light under my cabinets and growing in my kitchen, it looks and smells great. A little sensitive to Hotter soils but grew very well on a hemp mat and promix hp which is basic organic peet, perlite and mycorrhiza beneficial microbes. Seems like pretty good genetics and will definitely order from this brand again.
