Eureka White Dent Corn: Heirloom Seeds from Gurneys

Grows up to 18 Feet Tall

Heat-tolerant, heirloom corn
Ideal for roasting; making cornmeal or flour
Vigorous variety
Perfect for Southern gardens

Vigorous and heat tolerant, Eureka White Dent Corn produces 10-11 in. ears of white corn on stalks that grow up to 18 ft. tall. Use as roasting ears on the grill or over the campfire—or let the kernels dry and make white cornmeal or flour for breads, tortillas or chips. This heirloom variety can be sown earlier than hybrids and is particularly well adapted to the South. Corn is wind pollinated. For the best pollination, plant several rows in blocks rather than a single long row. Plants should be spaced about 10 in. apart. Approx. 250 seeds per pkt. 120 DAYS.
