What’s the difference between Painted Hill and Painted Mountain(s)?
I’m thinking of growing the latter next year.
No idea what the difference is; I never heard of Painted Mountain; only saw Painted Hill last year, so tried it. This year’s is from saved seed grown last year.
Now I have to go look it up, because I have some cat genes my parents incorporated into their basement cloning experiments.
Here's the difference:
Painted Hill
Beautiful multi-colored sweet corn. Developed by plant breeder Alan Kapuler for cooler and shorter season climates. Open pollinated and stabilized cross between Painted Mountain and Luther Hill. Each ear is about seven inches and multi colored. Some plants in this selection also produce multiple stalks with more ears!
Mine sure does! It's usable as table corn, once the ears fill out, but before they start to take on the colors.
