What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Blue Hopi Corn Seeds (Zea mays) produce a striking and productive heirloom corn valued for its resilience, versatility, and rich cultural history. Grown for centuries by the Hopi tribe, this traditional blue maize is well adapted to dry conditions and delivers reliable harvests in home gardens and small farms.

Plants grow tall and sturdy, reaching up to 7 feet in height, and typically produce two to three ears per plant. The ears are filled with deep blue kernels that offer a sweet, nutty flavor when harvested young and outstanding quality when dried for long-term use.

Traditional, Drought-Resistant Heirloom Corn:

  • Historic variety grown for generations in arid regions
  • Known for strong drought tolerance and hardy growth
  • Tall, vigorous plants with dependable yields

Versatile and Nutrient-Rich Harvest:

  • Enjoy fresh as sweet corn when picked young
  • Dry kernels for blue corn flour or cornmeal
  • Excellent for tortillas, baking, and traditional dishes
  • Can also be processed into colorful hominy

Why Customers Love Blue Hopi Corn:

  • Beautiful deep blue kernels
  • Sweet, nutty flavor profile
  • Performs well in dry or low-water gardens
  • Multi-purpose corn for fresh eating and storage use

How to Grow Blue Hopi Corn:
Plant seeds in full sun after the danger of frost has passed. This annual corn prefers warm soil and benefits from consistent spacing to support tall stalks. Harvest young ears for fresh eating, or allow ears to fully mature and dry on the stalk for use as flour, cornmeal, or hominy.
