Green And Gold Dent Corn Seeds | Indian Ornamental Oaxacan Maize Flint Seed 2025

July 8, 2026

Green and Gold Dent Corn are like the colors of a farmer’s favorite tractor! These robust plants grow up to 12 feet tall, producing ears filled with a beautiful mix of green and yellow-gold kernels, each with a characteristic dent at the crown. Ideal for grinding into cornmeal, feeding livestock, or adding a decorative touch to fall arrangements, Green and Gold Dent Corn is as practical as it is eye-catching. Green and Gold Dent Corn can be used to create stunning natural decorations, perfect for adding color to fall wreaths, centerpieces, and cornucopias. Dent corn was developed from a cross between flint corn and flour corn, combining the hardiness of flint corn with the softness of flour corn. Corn is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans. Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all. Also Known As: Green and Gold Indian Corn, Oaxacan Corn, Zapotec Corn, Native American Corn, Flint Corn, Indian Corn, Pole Corn, Field Corn, Maize, Maise, Calico Corn, Popcorn, Ornamental Corn, Decorative Corn. We ship in 1 business day. Shipped with USPS First Class Mail. Plant Name: Corn, Oaxacan Green Dent Latin Name: Zea mays Days to Germinate: 10-14 Days to Harvest: 95 Germination Rate: 85% Test Date: 1/24 Growth Habit: Upright USDA Zones: 4-9 Lifespan: Annual Brand: TomorrowSeeds Sunlight: Full Sun, Partial Shade GMO: No Pollination: Hybrid Fungicide-Treated Seeds*: No Seeds Packed For**: 2025 *Fungicide-treated seeds protect the seedlings from diseases until they are up and growing. Do not eat treated seeds. **Seeds are freshly packed for the growing season of the year listed. Seeds are still viable beyond pack date. Store in a cool and dry location such as the refrigerator or basement to best preserve germination rates. Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation and Fertilizing: For small gardens, corn is best planted in square blocks instead of long rows to improve cross-pollination between corn stalks. Corn will grow best in areas with plenty of sunlight and prefers well-drained soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. To prepare the soil, clear the area of rocks, trash, and large sticks. Small pieces of grass and leaves can be mixed into the soil to make it richer. Spade the soil 8-10 inches deep and completely cover plant material. You may optionally scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for every 100 square feet of garden area. Rake it into the top 4 inches of soil. Rake the soil until it is smooth. Planting: Corn is best planted after the soil warms and is free from all danger of frost. Plant 1-2 ounces of seed for every 100 feet of row. Corn grows best when planted in several short rows instead of one long row. This makes it easier for the plants to pollinate and fill cobs with kernels. Plant corn seeds 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart. Space rows 2 1/2 – 3 feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 1 foot apart. For a steady harvest, plant again after 2-3 weeks. Planting Depth: 1 inch Within-Row Spacing: 3-4 inch, thin to 1 foot Between-Row Spacing: 2 1/2 – 3 feet Care During the Season: Watering: Water corn as needed to keep it from wilting. When kernels are forming, try not to let the corn suffer from lack of water. Weeding and Fertilizing: Hoe the weeds off just below the soil’s’ surface. Try not to work the soil more than 1 inch deep to prevent injuring root systems. When corn plants are about 2 feet fall, you may optionally apply 1 cup of fertilizer for every 10 feet of garden row. Scatter fertilizer evenly between rows and mix it lightly with the soil. Water after fertilizing. Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sevin is a synthetic option. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, please read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: If a few of your corn plants are stunted, they may have a viral disease and should be removed to keep the virus from spreading. Harvesting: Indian Corn are ready for harvest when the outer husks turn brown and dry. To harvest the ears, hold the stalk below the ear and twist the tip of the ear toward the ground until it breaks off. Let the corn ears dry for a week. You may optionally coat Indian corn with lacquer to give a shiny appearance. Indian corn may be stored at room temperature for 4-6 months.

It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. Planting: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last average frost date in Spring. Harden off then transplant seedlings, or direct sow seeds, outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Cold stratification is not required, but planting early is best for first-year bloom establishment. To direct sow, add 1/2″ – 3/4″ layer of peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil to top of a mostly sunny and clear area. Broadcast seeds then water to push seeds into area. Keep moist until established. May divide clumps to stimulate new growth in the Fall. Blooms the first year. Adaptive, self-seeding perennial.

Jerusalem Artichoke – Organic Individual medium Tubers – AKA Sunchokes, Sunroot

July 8, 2026

The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, is a species of sunflower native to eastern North America, and found from eastern Canada and Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas. It is also cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable The flowers are yellow and produced in capitate flowerheads, which are 5?10 centimetres (2.0?3.9 in) in diameter, with 10?20 ray florets. The tubers are elongated and uneven, typically 7.5?10 centimetres (3.0?3.9 in) long and 3?5 centimetres (1.2?2.0 in) thick, and vaguely resembling ginger root, with a crisp texture when raw. They vary in color from pale brown to white, red, or purple. The artichoke contains about 10% protein, no oil, and a surprising lack of starch The tubers are sometimes used as a substitute for potatoes:they have a similar consistency, and in their raw form have a similar texture, but a sweeter, nuttier flavor; raw and sliced thinly, they are fit for a salad. In Baden-Württemberg, Germany, over 90% of the Jerusalem artichoke crop is used to produce a spirit called “Topinambur”, “Topi” or “Rossler”. By the end of the 19th-century Jerusalem artichokes were being used in Baden to make a spirit called “Jerusalem artichoke brandy,” “Jerusalem artichoke”, “Topi”, “Erdäpfler” “Rossler” or “Borbel.” Jerusalem artichoke brandy smells fruity and has a slight nutty-sweet flavour. It is characterised by an intense pleasing earthy note. The tubers are washed and dried in an oven before being fermented and distilled. It can be further refined to make “red rossler” by adding Common Tormentil, and other ingredients such as currants, to produce a somewhat bitter and astringent decoction. It is used as digestif as well as a remedy for diarrhea or abdominal pain. Site. Plant sunchokes in full sun. The sunchoke prefers loose, well-drained soil but will grow almost anywhere. Add aged compost or sand to planting beds before planting; loose soil will make tuber harvesting easier. The sunchoke prefers a soil pH from 5.8 to 6.2. It is best to set sunchokes in a dedicated bed; once established they will spread rapidly and may require some effort to remove. The sunchoke can be planted densely to form a screen or windbreak. Planting time. Sunchoke tubers can be planted in the garden as early as 2 to 3 weeks before the average last frost date in spring. They are best planted in soil that has warmed to 50°F. In warm-winter regions sunchokes can be planted in winter. Sunchokes require 110 to 150 days to reach harvest. Sunchokes grow best in temperatures ranging from 65° to 90°F. Planting and spacing. Plant sunchoke tubers 2 to 6 inches deep, 12 to 18 inches apart. Space rows 36 to rows inches apart. Water and feeding. Sunchokes grow best with an even, regular supply of water but can survive long periods of drought once established. Sunchokes require no extra feeding; they grow best in soil rich in organic matter. Companion plants. Corn, rhubarb, peanuts. Avoid planting sunchokes with tomatoes. Please enter the number of tubers desired before purchashing.
