Grow the colorful and attractive Indian Corn, from freshly harvested Zea mays seeds. Indian Corn is sought after in the Autumn season as a decorative item, because of it's extremely colorful kernels. The plants form stalks which grow to 7 feet tall, producing 9 inch ears. Each ear displays colors of blue, red, yellow, white, brown and orange. Grown as an annual crop, Indian Corn will grow quickly from freshly harvested Zea mays seeds. The plants will produce their crops through the summer months and can be cut down afterwards. Interestingly enough, corn was never meant to thrive, let alone exist naturally in the world as we know it. It is a crop that can only survive and flourish, if protected by humans. Corn was believed to have been developed by humans in Mexico, over 7,000 years ago. It's distant relative is actually a wild grass, called "teosinte." The kernels of this distant relative were fairly spaced apart, but as humans bred corn through the years, we were able to produce the cobs, filled with tightly packed kernels, as seen in today's markets.
