Product Information
Indian Corn is one of the oldest varieties of corn. It is widely known as a symbol of Fall and the American harvest season. Its kernels come in a wide range of colors including white, red, yellow, brown and blue. The common nickname of "Flint" Corn is due to the kernels being known as "hard as flint" by the Native Americans. This variety is often dried and used for decoration because the soft and hard starches in the kernels helps them to shrink uniformly, retain their color and make them extremely less prone to spoiling during drying.
Indian Corn is well adapted to the growing conditions of most of the United States. This variety is considered a heirloom, and can be consumed by livestock. Indian Corn once mature can be ground for hominy and polenta. This corn grows to heights of approximatley 5-8 feet tall and has approximatley 2,073 seeds per pound.

Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
