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.

Surprisingly Effective – Smoother, Firmer, More Hydrated Skin!!!
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I decided to try the FRANKLY Closer Serum after seeing it listed as Amazon’s Choice and noticed it had been purchased 6K+ times in the past month  and I can see why! This serum has been a great addition to my skincare routine. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue. It feels hydrating right away, and over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks smoother and more refined, especially around my pores and T-zone. It doesn’t clog pores, which is important for my acne-prone skin, and it layers well under makeup or sunscreen. I appreciate the powerhouse ingredients like 9 peptides, vegan collagen, adenosine, and PHA  they’ve helped improve my skin’s elasticity and texture without irritation. The glow is real, and I can see that “glass skin” look starting to come through with consistent use. The 1.01 fl oz size may seem small, but a little goes a long way. The pump bottle is hygienic and easy to use, and the overall packaging feels clean and modern. If you’re looking for a gentle, multi-tasking anti-aging and pore-refining serum, this one is a great value  and it lives up to the hype.

The best pore reducer, even on older complexions!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Nothing has ever worked reducing my enlarged cheek and nose pores over the years. Now I've finally found something that works. By the second day there was noticeable results and by the end of the first week even the small wrinkles under my eyes was gone! I use it with my normal skin care routine but I won't do without this again.

Good and Hydrated
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s very good and hydrates very well. Not a fast or much improvement on pores. But very good to hydrate your skin.

Just buy it
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am not even sure I want to do this review because this might mean this product gets sold out. But I wont gate-keep. Get it. This has changed the game with my skin care. I use it twice a day and let me tell you, the compliments I get are incredible. It is not greasy at all, absorps quickly, super light weight and does not irritate my skin. My skin is glass smooth. I have bought this for everyone in my life. Male and Female. I use it, let it dry then add moisturizer or sunscreen.

Works well with others!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Initially and by itself, I really didn’t see any changes to my face that made me confident with this product. But now that I have a skin routine, I think it works well! Now I like it and I see changes. But alone or with few products, I’m not sure how effective it is!
