Purple (Pink) Corn Earrings (Large)

The diameter of each blossom is 1-1/8 inches.

Purple Mountains Corn is a lavender-purple heirloom with a story as rich as its color. It was carefully developed over several seasons by crossing Mandan Parching Lavender with Montana Lavender, two traditional mountain corn varieties with deep roots in the northern plains. The goal was to create a corn with bold, consistent flavor and color that works beautifully for masa, cornbread, or roasting, while honoring the traits that made its ancestors special. Resistant to common soil-borne diseases, Purple Mountains is both reliable in the garden and delicious on the table. Its name nods to the final musical project of the late David Berman—a variety with character, history, and a little quiet magic all its own.
