{"product_id":"heirloom-flint-dent-corn-grex","title":"Heirloom Flint \u0026 Dent “Corn Grex” - 1 Gallon","description":"\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eExperience the ultimate garden surprise! These unique field corn plants come from a \"grex\"—a specialized, highly disease resistant and diverse blend of heritage flint and dent varieties allowed to cross-pollinate naturally. Because each plant holds its own genetic mix, your harvest will be an explosion of diverse autumn colors, textures, and ear shapes. Perfect for gardeners who love heirloom biodiversity, beautiful fall porch decorations, or milling their own custom, home-grown cornmeal and polenta. Yes – they are edible. Remember they are wind pollinated and do better in groups to produce ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlanting Advice:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlant together in a dense grid or block (not a single line) to maximize wind cross-pollination!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis is a diverse field\/grain corn mix, not uniform sweet garden corn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBest For:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVibrant autumn decorations, bird\/livestock feed, and home milling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \"Grex\" Advantage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSuperior climate resilience and genetic adaptability compared to standard, single-variety crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun \u0026amp; Space:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun; space plants about 12 inches apart in a tight grid block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDays to Harvest:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRoughly 85–110 days for fully matured, dried ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Root Advantage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1-gallon pots prevent the transplant shock that often stunts smaller corn seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \"Block\" Reminder:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAt 1.5 feet tall, they are growing fast.
