Oklahoma native Carl Barnes selected the stunning Glass Gem from several traditional heirlooms known for their beauty. Words don't do justice to the multicoloured, translucent, gem-like kernels on these amazing cobs.

The plants are sturdy and grow 6-8' tall, with several 18-20cm (7-8") long ears. The kernels can be popped or ground into flour, but they're almost too beautiful to part with. Consider starting this one indoors, as it has a long maturation. The kernels take on these extraordinary colours as they dry so they make exceptional autumn displays. No two cobs are identical.
