Has anyone grown it before?
Was thinking of getting some from http://www.brownenvelopeseeds.com/index.php/site/seed/painted_mountain/
Be careful if you grow other corn as they might cross, you will have to pick your type carefully

Yay they arrived today, now I just have to choose which colour seeds to plant, any preferences or advice? :P
Every year I'm tempted to grow this, but do you think it's an anti-social act on an allotment where everyone else is trying to grow pure yellow versions? :-\

Ohh tough call, I'm growing it in my back yard, so it shouldn't affect anyone.
I suppose you would need to know how far the pollen is likely to spread..
If you're just growing a small bed, it's unlikely to affect anything more than a few yards away. Published distances refer to field quantities.
