Zea mays 'Double Red'

This variety is beautiful – the plant itself has red stalks and husks and the male flowers, or tassels, are also tinted red. The sweetcorn kernels are white and red (sometimes almost purple), and the colour distribution may vary across cobs. The taste is sweet and delicious when fresh, but it can also be dried for cornmeal and flour. This is one of the few red sweetcorns that matures quickly enough in the short British summers so enjoy some new colour in your veg patch! Expect good yields from short stocky plants. Matures in 80-100 days.
