Millersburg Red is an easy variety to grow with somewhat compact plants that reach just 5-6 feet at maturity. The well-formed ears average 6 to 7 inches long and 12 rows around with densely packed, sweet kernels that mature from yellow to red. Millersburg Red matures approximately 80 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
