Oaxacan Green is a remarkable heirloom maize originating from southern Mexico, where it has been grown for centuries by the Zapotec people. The striking emerald green kernels are traditionally milled into a distinctive green flour for making tamales and tortillas. Plants grow to approximately 1.6–1.8 m tall and produce beautiful ornamental cobs while remaining drought tolerant and reliable under a range of conditions. Matures in around 75–105 days.
Approximately 25 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August
Subtropics: September to January
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: After the last frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly into well drained, fertile soil in full sun once the soil has warmed. Plant seeds 2–3 cm deep, spacing plants 20–30 cm apart in blocks rather than single rows to ensure good pollination. Keep plants well watered during flowering and cob development. Harvest young cobs fresh or allow them to mature and dry completely for milling into flour.
