Description: A black, sweet, dry corn. Beautiful chewy, nutty flavour, best eaten before it goes very black. Cobs not large but very nutritious. This is one of our favourite sweetcorns, requiring a little longer to cook than more modern varieties. This corn makes excellent flour corn, posole and also tortillas!

Planting Instructions: Scatter sow seeds into trays and transplant when 3.5 cm high and soil temperatures reach 15-16 degrees C. Plant at 40 cm diagonal spacing.
