Painted Mountain Corn is a unique, ultra-early corn variety cultivated in Montana’s mountainous regions, developed by Dave Christensen over three decades. This heirloom variety was specifically bred for its outstanding hardiness, early maturity, and striking multicolored kernels that create an appealing display. The ears typically measure between 6 and 7 inches and lend themselves well to various uses such as fall decorations, fresh consumption, roasting (parching), and grinding into hominy grits. Plants grow to an average height of about 4 feet, making them manageable for a range of garden sizes. These seeds are organically grown, ensuring a pure and natural cultivation process. Ready to harvest in approximately 110 days, Painted Mountain Corn offers a reliable germination rate of around 80% or higher. Additionally, these Non-GMO seeds support sustainable gardening practices. The packaging is designed with the environment in mind—climate-friendly, reusable, and recyclable—helping to reduce waste and promote responsible stewardship of natural resources. This variety is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a resilient, visually appealing, and versatile corn that honors traditional cultivation methods while embracing organic standards.
