Indescribably beautiful flint or popcorn comes in an endless range of colors. The translucent kernels really do shine brilliantly like glass—on the cob they resemble strands of glass beads! The 3- to 8-inch ears are consummately decorative, but edible and delicious as well. Makes firm little morsels when popped; can also be parched, ground into meal, and more. Sturdy plants reach to 9 feet tall and throw numerous sideshoots where the season is long enough. Bred from a number of Native varieties by Carl Barnes, the famous Oklahoma corn collector to whom we owe our gratitude for his life's work of collecting, preserving, and sharing so many Native corn varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e When growing Glass Gem popcorn, ensure that the soil is well-drained and has a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
