Gummy Corn is a Native American sweet corn variety donated to the USDA in 1976 by Cora Blackbear of the Fort Berthold Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Reservation in North Dakota. The name "Gummy Corn" likely comes from the general term used by the Hidatsa's to refer to sweet corn. Plants are more compact than most other heirloom sweet corns—around 5' tall—making "Gummy Corn" an excellent choice for small gardens. Plus, they consistently produce two 6-8" ears per plant! Sweet, yellow kernels are especially delicious when harvested young, but also hold well in the field—up to two weeks after silk tips have dried. 80-90 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
