Corn Dent Blue Hopi 6 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seed Sizes Available
Corn Dent Blue Hopi preserves agricultural heritage while delivering practical versatility for contemporary gardeners and food producers. This ancient flint corn variety, cultivated by Hopi communities for centuries, carries cultural significance alongside agronomic merit—a rare combination that appeals to heritage seed stewards and culinary traditionalists alike. The compact 5-foot plant architecture maximizes space efficiency in smaller gardens while reducing wind damage risk compared to full-height dent varieties. Each plant produces 8 to 10 bushy ears with distinctive dark blue kernels and smooth texture, yielding substantial grain per square foot. The dense ear production reflects the variety's adaptation to arid Southwest conditions and limited water availability. Dual-purpose utility distinguishes this corn from single-use hybrids. Fresh young ears deliver mild, slightly sweet flavor suitable for fresh consumption, while mature kernels dry to ideal moisture content for grinding into flour. The resulting cornmeal produces authentic blue corn chips, tortillas, and traditional Southwestern dishes. Reaching maturity in approximately 110 days, this variety suits mid-length growing seasons across diverse climates.
