Description

The mountain survivor of the high plains. ‘Painted Mountain’ flour corn produces multicolored ears in shades of gold, red, pink, blue, and white, bred for cold tolerance, short seasons, and resilience. The kernels grind into soft, richly flavored cornmeal with a hint of natural sweetness.

Plants grow 4–5 feet tall and mature in just 90 days, thriving where other corns fail—at high elevations, short summers, or unpredictable climates.

Created by Dave Christensen in Montana through decades of crossing ancient Native and heirloom strains, ‘Painted Mountain’ embodies strength, diversity, and beauty—a seed that honors survival and adaptation.
