100 days. Flour corn landrace developed by Joseph Lofthouse of Landrace Garden Seeds in Paradise, Utah. A landrace is a regionally adapted population containing more diversity than a traditional variety.  The population is diverse enough that you can continue the breeding work by selecting those that grow best in your garden.  Multi-colored kernels are great for grinding into flour, and we love our cornbread made from Unity. Super tall stalks grow large kernels on 8” ears.

After all danger of frost has passed, plant 2 seeds 12" apart in rows 18" apart. Thin to one strong plant per row foot. Corn is wind pollinated, so plant in blocks at least 5' x 5' to ensure adequate pollination. Allow cobs to dry on the plant as long as weather remains dry.
