An heirloom hailing from South Dakota, this is a flour corn that produces a very soft, fine flour that’s great for blue cornbread. It’s also a nice ornamental for the hearth or door-knocker. Large ears on 9’ plants.

Heads up: flour corns produce a soft kernel that makes it vulnerable to molding very quickly if it rains a lot during the final month before harvest, so it’s not suited for wet Autumn climates.

Also, can we make a quick case for choosing milling corn over sweet corn for your garden (don't grow more than one variety in your garden...corn varieties cross with each other readily, and when that happens, you won't get what you're hoping for). In late summer and early fall, sweet corn abounds. It's so easy and cheap to procure! So instead, grow your own milling corn. One ear will give you enough flour for a batch of cornbread, and you'll be amazed at the flavour.
