From breeder Frank Kutka of the College of Menominee Nation, "Dobranoc' (doe-BRAH-notes) is an early corn variety with all the colors of dusk and midnight. The parentage includes early purple selections of varieties from North and South America, as well as corn belt and Mexican lines. This Cycle 1 (C1) selection is darker than the original population. The texture varies, but dark colors in the seeds and on most plants are the norm. Enjoy!
