The Corn Kit

Grow your own corn and get a luxurious delicacy for the grill or as lightly boiled cobs with butter. This handsome plant also thrives on your balcony if you take care of it properly.

Throw down 2-3 seeds per pot, and thin until you have a strong plant left. Keep the soil moist, give them lots of sun and boost with fertilizer every two weeks.

Shake the plants a little to help pollination on the stack. Harvest when the silk is brown and the grains feel plump. Combine with beans and squash for a cool balcony ecosystem, and give them support so they stand steady in the wind. With a little love and care, you can enjoy fresh, home-grown corn right from your balcony.

All our seeds are produced in Sweden by dedicated growers who grow small-scale and sustainably. Simply a careful craftsmanship from start to finish. In collaboration with Nordfrö.

Cascade Ruby Gold

This flour corn is considered almost legendary for its fantastic taste that varies with the colors, which go from light yellow, gold and to deep dark red, with more intense aroma the darker the cob. The flour from the corn makes fantastic polenta, tortilla or sweet pastries. Selection by Oregon-based grower Oracle Carol Deppe. Height: approx. 180 cm.
Grown by : Jorge at Nybrukarna (Vetlanda)
Germination : min. 95%

Painted Mountain

Fabulously beautiful and versatile flour corn that is excellent for porridge and bread, but can also be grilled and boiled. Painted Mountain is said to be able to exhibit all the color variations that corn can have and is said to have the greatest genetic variation as well. Is very resistant to cold and wind and is one of the very earliest varieties. Selection of Dave Christensen in Montana. Height: approx. 150 cm.
Grown by : Lisa in Rö (Norrtälje)

Ashworth

With its deep, buttery flavor, this bright yellow corn is a sure winner, despite not being as sweet as some modern hybrids. Perfect for our latitudes because it grows well in slightly cooler soil and ripens slightly earlier than other varieties. Will be about 150 cm high.

Damaun

The sweetest open pollinated corn you can find. What does this mean for you? Well, you get a rich sweet corn with excellent quality on the cobs and you can save your own seed. Despite its sweetness, it still has a round and rich corn taste. Gives about 20 cm large cobs on hardy, strong-growing plants.
