Teosinte

Latin Name

Zea spp.

Description

Teosinte is currently believed to be the wild progenitor of modern corn. Native to Mexico, wild Zea species are shortening-day plants: flowering is initiated as day length begins to shorten in the fall. Plants produce tassels and small spikelets of seeds. Approx. 2 grams per packet.

Culture

Seeds have hard seed coats, which need to be scarified (soaked, filed or sanded) so water can be absorbed. Plant as corn.

Seed Saving

Plants will not flower until Fall, making it difficult to harvest mature seeds unless you have a late frost or frost-free environment.
