Creates stunning, translucent, multi-colored jewel like kernels, each with its own sparkle. Unlike anything you have ever seen! Glass Gem is a flint corn and can be ground up to make corn meal or popped.
This corn has become incredibly popular for its stunning colors. Each kernel looks like a perfect glass gem with swirls of colors. This corn was bred from a number of native varieties by Carl “White Eagle” Barnes, the famous Cherokee corn collector. You can make cornmeal or popcorn from these beautiful kernels that grow on sturdy tall 9-foot stalks.

♥♥♥ Planting Instructions ♥♥♥
Plant in full sun in highly fertile, well drained soil with a 6.0 to 6.8 pH.
Sweet corn will prefer rich soil with high nitrogen and plenty of moisture.
Soil should be amended prior to planting with aged manure or rich compost.
The ideal spot to plant corn would be in the same plot that yielded a healthy bean or pea crop the year before--these crops contribute the needed nitrogen to the soil.
Corn is wind pollinated and, especially for smaller plots, should be planted in blocks, rather than long rows.
Seeds should be planted 2-3 per hole, about 1-2 inches deep.
Plantings should be approximately 12-15 inches apart, and rows should be 30-36 inches apart.
If more than one seed sprouts from a single planting, they should be thinned to the strongest sprout.
Shorter varieties can be planted closer, and sweeter varieties should be planted shallower.
Water plots well after planting and keep consistently moist through germination and harvest. As weather becomes warmer, increase watering. Sufficient moisture is crucial for plants to develop and produce properly.
Corn should be fertilized with a nitrogen rich food when plants are about 12-18 inches high and weeds should be controlled so they do not steal moisture and nutrients from your crop.
Corn will produce a fairly shallow root system, so care should be taken not to damage it when removing weeds. Weed control in corn plots is best achieved by a thick mulching, which also helps to maintain moisture.
