Crazy japanese corn? (11)

GreenTassels
What is that? And what does it need to grow? I'd love to try!

(I'm a great fan of japanese pumpkins, japanese sweet potatos and other things which will not grow here in Switzerland..)

Same conditions as regular corn as far as I know. Easy to grow.

And did I mention it looks crazy?

Hm. Sorry Newlife, the link just sends me to an empty page of a past seed saver order.. no info I'm afraid.
Tried entering "crazy corn" in the search function to no avail as well..

Did you type in "(OG)" at the end of the bad link? It wont show the whole url for some reason.

Alternately, try googling Striped Japanese Maize.

Ooops!- dang! I didnt notice the OG missing in the copy/paste..

Now I see it!!

Its gorgeous!! And the best thing: Its got green and purple tassels!!!!yay

But does it produce a corn to eat or is it purely ornamental?
Its lovely!!

Grow the corn the same way as any other corn you have. Just go to the regular seed savers site and you can view all their information.

Thanks taranoga.. I'll do that.

I tried to pick up some seeds here in Switzerland, but I think they dont sell them here yet..
And ordering them from abroad is probably too late now, especially as I dont own a credit card.
-Shame. It looks like a great plant for a home veggie garden.
