>>>The only corn that would even attempt to grow here was one of the old ones called Black Aztec.<<<

That’s the one I got... It turns a deep blue/purple almost black... I wanted it in case it turns out hot and dry this summer - they say it is one of the few that can weather adversity and still produce a good yield. Figured that was what I should have. When it is ground, it takes on that blue color more than black.

The wind blows the pollen away and the heat dries it out.
