Grow a striking traditional corn variety with Blue Cónico Corn Seeds. This beautiful corn develops distinctive ears filled with deep blue, indigo, purple, and blue-black kernels, creating a dramatic harvest for the garden.

Blue Cónico corn is especially attractive for drying, grinding, decorative harvest displays, traditional corn projects, and seed-saving gardens. The richly colored kernels deepen as the ears mature and dry, giving each ear a naturally rustic appearance.

Its bold color, traditional character, and unusual kernel tones make it an eye-catching addition to home gardens and specialty corn collections.

Growing Info

  • When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
  • Planting Depth: Sow approximately 1–1½ inches deep.
  • Spacing: Space plants about 8–12 inches apart, with rows approximately 30–36 inches apart.
  • Sunlight: Grow in full sun.
  • Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter works best.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, especially during tasseling and ear development.
  • Planting Tip: Plant corn in blocks of several short rows instead of a single long row to improve wind pollination.
  • Harvesting: For dry corn, allow ears to mature and dry on the stalk as much as weather permits. Harvest once the husks are dry and kernels are firm, then finish curing in a dry, well-ventilated area if needed.
