- Striped Japonica corn is a stunning edible ornamental landscape plant developed in the Meiji period in Japan. Its variegated leaves and gorgeous silks and ears are extraordinary. But this heirloom is more than just great looks: dried and ground, the dark kernels of this flint corn make a wonderful meal. Learn more and order seeds: www.rareseeds.com/striped-jap...
I shared this video with my soon to be mother in law earlier this year.
She was so impressed with this corn variety that she purchased it!
She never grew corn before, but they did excellent in her garden.
Price..1kg corn seed
Thoroughly enjoy your SEED STORIES series! Thank you so much for producing them. I am growing the sacred Pawnee Eagle Corn for 2019, but look forward to trying Striped Japonica for 2020. (👍#104 and comment #6). Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
Gorgeous! Ideal for an edible, ornamental landscape. If only this corn 🌽 had been used for erosion control instead of kudzu, the outcome would have been very different. Great 🌽story! 😊
Beautiful plant. Another informative and enjoyable video. I am always happy to see a new feature. 🌱😊
I really like your videos on seed stories. Please indicate how and where we can avail that variety of Corn. Thank you!

@@RareSeedsBC when would this variety be available again? (Jan of 2022 it is no longer available/found online)
Is this corn also known as Japanese black sticky corn? If not, when would that variety be available again? More interested in the sticky corn variety. Thank you
Mine never got striped leaves
How many plants did you grow overall? striation is not visible in all of them at times, but should be visible on some at least!
I had the same experience. Mostly green
What is your most productive corn variety?
Hi there, are you looking for recommendations on flint corn or sweet corn, or both? Knowing this would help us best answer your question. Thanks!
i want
No gmo!
Yes GMO
Why is that relevant
So, if it originally comes from Portugal, why call it Japonica.? That's like calling someone from Scotland who moves to Norway, say, a Norwegian. It's the origin it should be named for, don't you think? I like the history on Seed Stories, as the catalog does the same. BUT, how about exact planting and harvesting instructions too? Thanks.
Please botanical name.
Hi there and thanks so much for your interest! The botanical name is Zea mays "Japonica."
I Do Not Understand WHY they call it JAPONICA, MAIZE IS NAHUALT, which is the dialect Aztecs spoke! Maiz is from South America
So Please GET YOUR FACTS CORRECTED! Just because its grown in Japan DOES NOT MAKE IT JAPANESE

Maybe the strain originated there? I like to think of it the same way as "Japanese morning glory". They got Ipomea nil from the Americas but they eventually bred cultivars.
