Out of stockCapsicum annuum So excited to have this seed available to you and I recommend you seed save. A poblano type chilli on a very tall plant will maybe need some staking. Producing wide green fruit tapering gently to soft point. Known as Ancho's in Mexico they are very mild with smells of raisins and smoke when dried. Add an exquisite richness to any dish.

Capsicum annuum Compact plant even suitable for a largish pot with beautiful upright green to red fruit reaching upward on top of plant, so quite unusual and ornamental. And of course delicious. Found right through Asia and introduced by the Spanish conquistadors. Considered very hot yet used in most of the Thai dishes we eat. Recommended.

Zea mays This corn is blue to the eye and truly remarkable to grow. This is a rare seed. Blue Hopi corn has so much anthocyanins in it that some say that it is has more antioxidant potential than blueberries. Limited quantities. Considered a staple corn of the Hopi people, this corn can be eaten as a sweet corn when young, or allowed to dry it can be used to make flour. Hopi Blue has a higher protein content than a dent corn and makes wonderful tortillas. The 7 inch, dried blue ears also make great autumn decorations. Plants are 2 metres tall.
