Looking for ways to bring your children into the garden? Glass Gem Corn is sure to do the trick as each ear is packed with jewel-toned kernels that actually glisten in the sun! Plant for its novelty, but enjoy the short, narrow ears of Glass Gem Corn steamed, popped, ground or dried. Glass Gem Corn contains a low moisture content, so it does make for a good popcorn. Prior to harvest, peek inside husk - muted colors will signify more time is needed on the stalk.

  • • Colors keep after dried and cured
  • • Ears generally measure 6 to 8 inches long

    Customer photo review of Corn Seeds - Glass Gem

    Once my 5 year old granddaughter found out Glass Gem corn existed, I had to grow it. We sowed these Eden Brothers seeds in my back yard garden in May, and fertilized with nitrogen, phosphorous, and bonemeal when called for. I ended up with twenty 7’ stalks, that my grand and I just harvested (last week of September, 23) in Ohio. We got 29 beautiful ears of varying color and size, and maybe 6 puny cobs with few or no kernels. And I’m a first time grower of corn! We couldn’t be happier with our crop, and my grandbaby thinks I’m a legit farmer, lol.
