Large, splayed seedheads form at the top of tall, corn-like stalks. Cut the stalks and seedheads when mature for use in dried arrangements as well as crafts. This plant has a very long history of cultivation, but is hard to find and little known today. Grown for us by a couple in Minnesota who have made a business of growing and marketing seeds of rare and unusual ornamental corn varieties. There are more than 20 varieties in this mixture.
Colors are red, black, brown, and natural.
50 seeds .80 988. A robust plant, up to 7' tall with a rich mahogany seed head, somewhat resembling a bushy, seedy cattail. Pick before the plant heads are dried but are well-developed. They dry nicely and are a pretty color. Good for adding height to arrangements.
