Desert Dent Corn

This multi-colored dent corn is not only remarkably beautiful, but also has equally impressive agronomic qualities. This selection came from the Earth Tones Dent Corn. With an emphasis on a multitude of matte colors, 8″ to 12″ cobs, consistent indentations, and drought resiliency, this variety produces 2-3 ears per plant. It holds up well even with high grasshopper and raccoon pressure. In 2024, we stopped irrigating at the beginning of July and were impressed that it withstood multiple dry periods to produce an abundant crop.

High Desert Seed and Gardens employs regenerative farming practices to produce open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds. These methods enhance soil fertility, support pollinators, and promote biodiversity, resulting in resilient, drought-tolerant seeds adapted to arid and high-elevation regions.
