Do you most often get the lighter or darker colors? It's all beautiful.

I garden for the pollinators.

Most were like the lower specimen...pastel multicolor.
It was my first time planting corn and I had a limited amount of seed and pests got to them...your results may vary ( for the better!)

It is not meant for fresh eating but can be used to produce cornmeal...and maybe popcorn but I have not tried it.

TY for the info. It looks like it would taste good, but that's what I've always heard about multi-color corn like that.
