I've grown them. Unfortunately they didn't do too well. They came up but fizzled out before producing much. I think it got too hot for them. The collards didn't do well that summer either. I think I have them in my garden plan again for this year - we'll see if they do better.

No, they died out before they were big enough to eat. Sorry - I'm not much help, but this is such a little known variety, I was happy to hear of someone else considering it. I looked at my garden plan and I do have a small spot I could try it again.

I planted some about a hundred years ago Seed. It was in that other state...
But what I think I remember is a tender smooth flavor, sort of buttery maybe?
I hesitated posting because it's been so long ago that I grew them, but I think you should plant them, after all, they say CORN in the name.
Report back here, and you can tell me how far off I was.

I thought they were about the best of salad greens, Seedcorn.
Very mild flavor, I bet anything would go with them.
However . . . I grew them once. Then, the seed failed for the next 2 times I tried to grow it. Maybe it needs to be sown very, very early. Maybe it was olde seed. That could be a problem with uncommon choices from the catalog outfits.

They grow wild along the roadsides and in disturbed areas. One of my favorite greens to chew on when I'm on the trail.
