Description

A breeding project to stabilize a trait that we noticed in the Apache Red flour corn of sunburst patterns of red over yellow, white, orange or red kernals. Also known as Chinmark, named after the tradition that some First Nations peoples would tatoo on their chins. Gorgeous to grow! Growth and maturity similar to the Apache corns.
