Heirloom Montana Morado Corn Seeds – Rare Purple Corn, Cold Hardy & Nutrient-Rich
Zea mays
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30 seeds

Montana Morado Maize is a rare, deep purple corn variety bred for cold-hardy, high-altitude growing conditions. Developed in Montana by crossing ancient South American Maíz Morado with northern-adapted heirloom corns, this variety thrives in shorter growing seasons while maintaining the rich, dark pigmentation associated with high anthocyanin content, a powerful antioxidant. Traditionally used for grinding into flour, making nutrient-rich tortillas, or brewing chicha morada, this corn is both beautiful and functional. Plants reach 6–8 feet tall, producing striking, dark purple ears that deepen in color as they mature. For the best results, direct sow seeds after the last frost in warm, well-draining soil, provide full sun, and plant in blocks for proper pollination.

My top 3 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. FYI this maize didn't get infested by worms as much as when I grow sweet corn. 

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.

PLANTING
Germination: 7-14 days

Seed Sowing Depth: 1-2 inches deep 

Sowing: Everyone recommends to direct sow corn as soon as soil temperatures reach over 85F. For some reason I have terrible germination when I direct sow corn. I believe my soil is just too moist since I am in Florida, which rots out the seeds. Because of this, I sow the seeds in 72-cell seed trays, 1 seed per cell, and transplant at the 3 week mark. It works perfectly every time. It is important to transplant no later than the 3 week mark or they get root bound which stunts their growth. 

Days to maturity: 85

- Availability of seed in this shop varies depending on what I have decided to grow that season. With that said, please be advised that seeds are available in limited quantities. Once sold out they may or may not be available again.

Great Vest
this golf vest is amazing. It’s very well-made. It fits well, I’m a double X and I’m 62 and a slice of pizza from 230 pounds. I just love it and plan to buy more. I believe it’s gonna wear very well, but I’ll let you all know in a month or two after I’ve worn it a couple times and washed it a couple times.

As Advertised!
Product arrived promptly & well-packaged (shrink wrapped packaged & enclosed inside additional box). Golf vest was received "as advertised" & appears to be of good quality. Vest was fairly priced & is very comfy, lightweight, stylish & wrinkle resistant. Purchased as a gift for my adult son for his future golf adventures. Size/fit will need to be determined by my son when he prepares for his next golf outing. Very pleased with my purchase & will consider additional purchases from seller in the future.
