Green and Gold Dent Corn can be used to create stunning natural decorations, perfect for adding color to fall wreaths, centerpieces, and cornucopias. Dent corn was developed from a cross between flint corn and flour corn, combining the hardiness of flint corn with the softness of flour corn. 

Corn is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans. Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.
