Grow a striking and historic variety with Bloody Butcher Corn, a famous 19th-century heirloom dent corn known for its deep blood-red kernels and exceptional milling quality. This dramatic corn has been treasured for generations for its rich, complex flavor, making it ideal for cornmeal, grits, polenta, tortillas, and artisan baking.
Bloody Butcher is a long-season variety that produces tall, vigorous plants and large ears filled with glossy red kernels that darken beautifully as they mature. While primarily grown as a dry grain corn, it can also be harvested young as roasting ears, though it truly shines when fully mature and dried.
You will receive:
✔️ 25 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated heirloom (seed saving friendly)
