Blue Hopi Flour or Flint Corn Seeds - Grow Traditional Native American Corn
Zea mays
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30 seeds

Grow a piece of history with Blue Hopi Corn Seeds, a stunning heirloom variety cherished by the Hopi Native Americans for centuries. This flour or flint corn is known for its striking deep blue kernels, rich in antioxidants and perfect for grinding into flour for tortillas, bread, or traditional dishes. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and hardy, Blue Hopi corn is an excellent choice for gardeners in dry climates or those seeking a reliable crop. Unlike sweet corn, this variety is grown for its robust kernels, which store well and offer exceptional flavor and versatility. Its deep cultural roots and unique appearance make Blue Hopi corn not only a tribute to Native American agriculture but also a beautiful, productive addition to any garden.

My top 5 tips for successfully growing corn - or go visit my YouTube channel Jerra's Garden to watch my How to Grow Corn video: https://youtu.be/XhrJQ09dajQ

1. Corn must be grown in a decent size block in order to properly pollinate and produce full ears of corn. Corn is wind pollinated. The tassels that form at the top release pollen in the air that floats down and lands on the silks. Every silk is attached to a single kernel on the cob of corn. If the silk doesn't get pollinated, the kernel will not grow resulting in cobs of corn with gaps in it. Do not grow just a few plants. Ideally you would want a 8ft x 4ft growing area, with at least 4 rows. I sow/plant the corn 8-10 inches apart. 

2. The corn ear worms will come so be ready. These are small brown worms that bore into the stalk and ultimately into the forming cobs of corn. They will ruin the entire cob. What makes it so difficult, is that once they bore into the stalk/cob, its hard to treat for the worms. I highly recommend the use of spinosad. BT will also work ok, but its not as effective as spinosad against this particular type of worm. Spinosad is slightly stronger and has the added benefit of killing the worm on contact (BT does not). I spray at the first signs of worm chewing damage on the leaves to reduce the population before they work their way into the stalks/cobs. 

3. Corn is a grass relative. They need high amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to grow strong, lush, green stalks which in turn produce bigger and fuller cobs of corn. Look for fertilizers that are high in nitrogen, at least 10% by weight or more. Apply small amounts of fertilizer every 3 weeks to keep a consistent supply of nitrogen for the plants.

4. Corn loves water. The plants will dry and brown up if the soil is too dry just like grass. Make sure moisture levels stay consistent. 

5. If you plan to save your own seed, please note that corn very easily cross pollinates with other corn varieties. Plant each variety at minimum 150FT apart to avoid cross pollination. 

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full sun

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist

Fertilizer: Corn is in the grass family and basically just needs lots of water and nitrogen. Amend the soil with something high in nitrogen before planting, like blood meal, feather meal, or ammonium sulfate. Follow fertilizer package directions when re-applying fertilizer.

When & How To Sow Seeds: General guidelines say to direct sow corn seeds, 1 inch deep, after your last spring frost date. Garden zones 10 and up can direct sow 2 weeks before your last spring frost date. You can continue to direct sow more successions until 3 months before average daily temperatures start to drop below 70F. If you want to get an early start, or critters are eating the seeds or newly germinated seedlings, you can sow 1 seed per cell of a 72 cell seed tray to basically grow a plug. If you do this, you must transplant them into the garden at the 3 week mark or they will get root bound which stunts their growth. 

Germination: 7-14 days

Days To Maturity: 100 days

How & When To Harvest: Blue Hopi corn can be harvested at two different stages depending on how you want to use it. If you’d like to eat it fresh like sweet corn, harvest the ears while they are still young and tender, usually about 20–25 days after the silks first appear, when the kernels are plump and release a milky liquid if pressed with a fingernail. At this stage the ears can be boiled, grilled, or roasted. If you plan to use Blue Hopi corn for cornmeal or flour, allow the ears to fully mature and dry on the plant until the husks become dry and papery and the kernels turn hard and deep blue, typically 90–110 days after planting. After harvesting, hang the ears in a dry, well-ventilated area for a few weeks to finish curing before shelling and grinding the kernels.

Common Diseases: The most common disease is northern corn leaf blight, caused by a fungus that creates long, gray-green lesions on the leaves, reducing plant health and yield. To treat it, ensure good air circulation by spacing plants properly. Remove infected debris after harvest, as the fungus overwinters in plant material. For severe cases, fungicides (like Monterey Disease Control) can help control the disease. Crop rotation also reduces the chance of recurring infections.

Common Pests: The most common pest when growing corn is the corn earworm, which is a brown colored worm with two "eye spots" on its head. If you notice the leaves are chewed up, or you find frass (worm poop), start spraying with spinosad. Treat early on, before the worm makes its way into the cob where its protected from treatment sprays.

Does not stand up to aggressive chewers
Color: Grey
Supposed to be for heavy chewers. My dog destroyed this toy literally in less than 15 minutes. Tore the tail which I sewed back together and then she tore off the nose and pulled out stuffing. Don't know how they tested this. She is only 6 months old and it didn't stand up to her play. Do not recommend if you have an aggressive chewer.

Won't last a day
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My 50 lb. Pitt bull destroyed this chew toy in 15 minutes. One week later. I'm changing my rating from a one to a five. My girl spent up until now ripping it apart and pulling the stuffing and squeaker out. She had so much fun that I bought her another one. When I took it out of the box for her, she was so happy, she immediately tried to tear it apart.

Lasted 2 minutes
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Gave it a 2 star bc it was cute and on time. I have a GSD- a mildly aggressive chewer. This toy literally lasted 2 minutes and there was stuffing coming out so I had to take it away. Wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased.

Only Made It Two Weeks
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
This toy easily became my Fig's favorite toy. The squeaker wasn't as annoying as it is in many other dog plushies. However, that's where the positives end. After the first week, there was a hole in the stitching on its neck. I sewed it up, but it obviously did not last. The squeaker went silent after a few more days. I bought it on March 28th, and it is now April 12th. It's just a rag, now. RIP little honey badger. You did well in your short life time.

Not 100% indestructible, but cute and worth the money
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
My dog absolutely love this little toy although when I looked up indestructible dog toys, this is one of the first things came up. I have to say it is not indestructible. I have not found one single dog ball or chew baby that is indestructible. My dog has found every which way to destroy them. It is now four days later and it’s still almost intact, but she has placed a hole in it. It does come with a squeaker, although the second day she already pulled it out it’s cute and it’s fun. Your cat could technically play with it if you had a cat and they wanted one quality wise, I would say it’s definitely close to indestructible, but it’s not completely indestructible and the colors were so fun.
