Black Aztec Corn  - Heirloom Vegetable - Zea mays - 10 Seeds Borage The cones of Hinoki cypressThis old Mexican heirloom variety produces 18cm ears on approximately 180cm plants. When the kernels are still light coloured, the ears can be picked and used as sweet corn. Allowing the ears to mature, the kernels turn black, grey black, or bluish black in colour.
