Topic: sweetcorn "painted mountain"

I am trying to find a U.K source for the "painted mountain" variety of sweetcorn.
Also has anyone tried this? was it worth it?
thanks in advance.

Is Ireland close enough?

from the sources i read it in not really a sweet corn. It better used a flint/grinding corn. Not really that good for fresh eating. my main source runs her own seed company which sells this variety.

Eseeds & Supreme seeds Normally have it but they are both listing it as out of stock at the moment so perhaps they haven't received this years stock yet.

I have read that it can be used as sweetcorn or left on longer to use as hominy,tbh I am just looking to grow it mostly for drying as decoration.
