Glass Gem Corn Seeds

Discover the stunning beauty of Glass Gem Corn, a one-of-a-kind ornamental variety with vibrant, jewel-toned kernels that look almost too magical to be real—but they are! These impressive plants can grow up to 8 feet tall and produce cobs that are perfect for decoration, popcorn, or even homemade cornmeal.
 
When planting, be sure to grow multiple plants to ensure proper pollination. Space rows 2–3 feet apart, with 10 inches between plants, to give them the room they need to thrive. Why settle for ordinary yellow corn when you can grow your own rainbows?
 
Each seed packet contains at least 25 seeds, or choose a whole cob! 
 
Growing Guidelines:
Planting Time: Sow seeds outdoors directly in the soil when temperatures consistently range between 60–85°F.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a neutral pH. Adding compost or aged manure before planting helps support healthy growth.
Seed Depth: Plant seeds 1–2 inches deep in the soil.
Spacing: Space plants 10 inches apart with 2–3 feet between rows. Ensure you plant at least four rows in a square or block for optimal pollination.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Corn requires steady moisture, especially during the silking stage.
Sunlight: Corn thrives in full sun, needing at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily.
Harvest Time: Ready for harvest in approximately 100 days.
Tips for Success:
Start by soaking seeds in water for 12 hours before planting to encourage germination.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Fertilize with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer once plants reach 6 inches tall and again when tassels begin to form.
