Each kernel has a lilac-colored “eagle” marking. Plants average 2 ears when given adequate spacing. Ears are long and slender, averaging 8 to 9 inches long with about 8 rows. This rugged corn is descended from a historic Native American variety. Ed Schultz, renowned corn breeder from Montana, has a passion for selecting and stabilizing ancient corn varieties to restore them to how they were most likely originally grown. A small sample of seeds was donated to the USDA seed bank in 1959, including a long, slender flour corn with shell-pink, eagle-shaped markings. Ed is a far northern grower who has worked to create beautiful and early-maturing corns like Atomic Orange and the Papa’s corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Montana Red Eagle corn grows best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil.
