Overview
Wilda's Pride is an ornamental corn from Harris Seeds (1998) valued for the sheer variety of color on its large ears, which run 8 to 11 inches on tall, sturdy stalks. Kernels range from solid yellow and yellow-white to deep maroon, black-and-red, and mixed patterns, so no two ears look alike. It matures late, so sow in blocks early in the warm season and let the ears dry fully on the plant before cutting for display.
