McCormack's Blue Giant CORN, DENT 57g seed

Product Code: 41307 Price: Check Latest 85/100 days. [Introduced 1994 by SESE. Developed by Dr. Jeff McCormack from a cross between 'Hickory King' and an unnamed heirloom blue dent.] A variety especially suited to the eastern U.S. 'McCormack's Blue Giant' is especially suited for clay soils and drought prone areas. Because the 10-12' stalks are so tall it is not recommended for loose soils or high wind areas. Stalks produce one-two 7" to 8-1/2" ears containing large, wide, smoky blue kernels. When ground for meal or flour it produces a light blue flour. It is especially suited for making blue tortillas and blue corn chips. Though it is a meal corn it is excellent when eaten fresh as a roasting ear corn (the old fashioned way of eating corn on the cob). Has good tolerance to leaf blights. Pkt.
