Mandan Bride Corn (Zea mays) - This Native American flour corn originates from the Mandan tribe of North Dakota. Traditionally, Mandan women planted it alongside beans, sunflowers, and squash as part of the “Three Sisters” companion planting system. Mandan Bride is a striking dent corn, producing several 6–8 inch ears per plant with vibrant, multicoloured kernels in combinations of red, black, orange, yellow, and white, both solid and striped. While valued for its flour, it is also widely used for ornamental purposes due to its eye-catching appearance. Plants typically reach 5 ft. in height.
85-90 days to maturity.
50 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Direct seed Corn after risk of frost has passed, and when the soil temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius. Sow in a furrow, 1 - 1.5 inches deep and 4 inches apart, thinning to 1 plant per every 8 inches. Plant Corn in blocks or at least 4 rows to ensure proper pollination.
