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.

Comfortable, stylish, and perfect for long work hours 💗✨
Size: 934-Z, Color: Pink
I bought this chair because I spend a lot of time working and needed something comfortable but also stylish, and I absolutely love it. Since I started using it, I feel much better support in my back thanks to the lumbar support. It makes a big difference, especially during long work hours. The adjustable footrest is also a feature I didn’t know I needed, but now I use it all the time. The flip-up armrests are very convenient because I can adjust them depending on what I’m doing or move them out of the way when needed. The pink color is beautiful and adds a soft, elegant touch to my workspace. It looks great in a modern home office. It feels sturdy, well-made, and very stable. Overall, it’s a great purchase that improved both my comfort and the look of my workspace.

All-around thumbs up!
Size: 934W-Z, Color: Black
So far, so awesome. Easy to assemble, comfortable, arrived quickly and is exactly what I was looking for. I have a tall work bench in my new studio so I needed a chair that we could allow me to sit higher than a regular office chair and allow me to get off my feet after standing on the concrete floor. Plus its a nice looking chair that I am sure will last a long time. I love the flip-up arms and the lumbar support. This is just right!

Perfect Balance of Comfort, Support, and Style!
Size: 934-Z, Color: Black, Size: 934-Z, Color: Black
I’ve been using this chair for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much of a difference it’s made in my workspace. The mesh back is one of my favorite features—it offers excellent breathability and prevents that sticky, overheated feeling you sometimes get with solid-back chairs, even after sitting for hours. The seat cushion is firm enough to give proper support but still has enough give to keep me comfortable through long workdays. It feels like the perfect middle ground between soft and supportive. The adjustable foot ring has been a complete game changer for me. I use a taller desk setup, and having somewhere to rest my feet makes a huge difference in posture and overall comfort. Whether I’m sitting upright for focused work or leaning back to read, it’s always at the right height. The flip-up armrests are another smart design choice. When I’m typing, I like to have them down for support, but when I’m done, I can flip them up and push the chair neatly under my desk—saving space and keeping things tidy. The casters roll smoothly on both hardwood and rugs, so I can move around easily without scraping the floor or getting stuck. The overall build quality feels solid and sturdy, with no wobbles or creaks. Assembly was surprisingly quick—everything was clearly labeled, the parts felt durable, and it only took me about 20 minutes from opening the box to sitting in the chair. The sleek, modern look is another big plus—it blends in perfectly with my home office décor without feeling bulky or taking up too much visual space. If you’re looking for a chair that combines comfort, ergonomic support, durability, and style, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s equally great for work, studying, or just relaxing at your desk, and it’s definitely been worth every penny.

OK for the price, but overall comfort is avergae
Size: 934-Z, Color: Mustard
Easy to put together, color (mustard) accurate to images, and while I understand this is not a high-end chair, I feel like it still needs to be rated for its quality. Pros: the seat cushions are fairly comfortable and it rolls well. Adjustable footrest is easy enough and mostly sturdy. Cons: For a tall office chair, it doesn't go up high enough. I actually had to lower my standing desk to sit at it, which then isn't where I want it when I'm standing now. It's also a bit wobbly. The seat area's attachment to the post isn't as solid as it should be for a tall chair, so while sitting, it does tend to lean/slope forward and wobble side to side. The lumbar support is not adjustable, so I'm not even really sure what it does. And the armrests are not very comfortable to use. Since they are hard plastic, they are just a bit too rigid to rely on for any comfort. They are basically there to hold on to when you're getting out of the chair.

Good Value for a Tall Chair
Size: 934W-Z, Color: White
I have received this chair just today and would like to give my first impressions of it. Height is super adjustable as well as the foot rest. My desk is very tall (~34 inches vs standard ~29 inches) and does not suit a standard height chair. This chair's height is enough to sit comfortably at mybut also still having adjustment to be even higher. Lumbar support is a manual adjustment that can be adjusted by sliding the lumbar piece up or down and it seems it can be tiled as well. No reclining feature or slight backrest tilt adjustment. I'm used to my chairs reclining so it feels a little awkward siting in a flat base and straight backrest. I feel like I'm sitting too forward or leaning forward slightly but is probably something I can get use to. Easy to put together and feels very sturdy. Plastic parts of chair are made from a really sturdy plastic, like playhouse plastic materials. Wheels roll around carpet easily. Mesh seems to be a strong material, though the mesh feels kind itchy on bare skin. Overall, I think this is a good chair to get if you're needing a tall chair for a good value and can sacrifice no backrest tilt.
