Friends, rather than selling and shipping seeds, we now share seeds as an embodied gift practice. We are shipping all orders prior to August 28th as quick as we can, though your seeds may not arrive ’til October. Thanks for your patience and grace! Learn how to receive seeds from us & here are our FAQs.
Scrumptious sweet corn, brilliant yellow with splashes of cream, violet, plum and burgundy! Delicious pigments deepen and saturate as Festivity develops past sweet ‘milk’ stage; multiple stalks rise 5 to 6 feet high sharing 2 to 4 gorgeous ears per plant. Well-adapted for short seasons and low-fertility, we are grateful for our late friend and mentor Jonathan Spero of Lupine Knoll Farm in Oregon for cultivating (and sharing!) delectable diversity across many years, in addition to countless generations of indigenous brilliance.
When to harvest Festivity? Great question! The color varies profoundly in different soils and no matter the color, Festivity is ready to savor in the ‘milk stage,’ when cut kernels exude milky white rather than clear fluid (before milk stage) or no fluid (after milk stage). Enjoy!
Planting Method: Direct Sow Only
When to sow: Once soil temperatures are at least 65°F (mid-May to mid June) — seeds will rot in cooler temps. Successively plant every 1-2 weeks to extend your harvest window.
Sowing and seedling care: Sow 6” apart (or 2 every 12”), and watch out for crows who like to eat germinating corn! For well-filled ears, sow in blocks rather than rows.
Seed Depth: 3/4 – 1 inch Sun Needs: Full
Days to Germination: 4-7 days at 75°F; 10 at 65°F
