High genetic resilience and early production makes this corn a hardy mainstay. We love Painted Mountain for its beautiful rainbow of red, blue, yellow and orange hues. Matures in 75-90 days. This specific corn seed is a Colorado-adapted landrace. It will grow well anywhere in Colorado including higher elevation mountain gardens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePainted Mountain Corn was bred by Dave Christensen, starting by crossing almost 70 native flour corns.
