Description

The heirloom that became a legend in living color. ‘Glass Gem’ flint corn produces radiant ears shimmering with translucent kernels in every hue imaginable—violet, rose, amber, turquoise, gold, and jade. Each ear is unique, a natural mosaic that catches the light like stained glass.

Plants grow 6–7 feet tall and bear 6–8 inch ears suitable for grinding into cornmeal or using decoratively. When popped, the kernels yield small, white puffs with a delicate crunch.

Developed by Cherokee seed steward Carl Barnes in the late 20th century, ‘Glass Gem’ stands as a testament to Indigenous seedkeeping, cultural memory, and the breathtaking diversity of maize itself.
