Know before you buy
This is a dry corn variety, meaning it is primarily intended for grinding into cornmeal or flour rather than eating as sweet corn. While it has a sweet flavor, the texture is best suited for culinary processing once the kernels have fully matured and dried.
Yes, because this is an open-pollinated heirloom variety, you can successfully save the seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons. Just ensure you allow the ears to dry completely on the stalk before harvesting to ensure seed viability.
Corn is wind-pollinated, so it performs best when planted in blocks rather than a single long row. Aim to space your plants about 12 inches apart within rows that are 24 to 30 inches apart to ensure proper pollination and healthy growth.
Double Red corn thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is a tender annual that requires consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during the silking stage, and is suitable for USDA zones 4 through 10.
You can expect to harvest your Double Red corn approximately 90 to 100 days after planting. The exact timing will depend on your local climate and how much heat the plants receive during the summer.
