Dent Corn Seeds - Blue Ridge White Capped

Sold out for 2025 Zea mays 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.
