Last year I planted some ruby red sugar enhanced sweet corn seed that I saved from the year before (thought it was ornamental at the time and didn't notice until it had dented). It grew well and produced well, actually one of my customers' favorites. Some stalks had white and yellow kernals on the ears, some had red or red tinted kernals that turned dusty white when cooked, but the hulls were red, so was a red cob after you ate it. I called it krazy korn....kids liked it. Sold a lot of it! Every stalk had one or two ears on it. Ears were bigger around and shorter than the parent ears were, tho. I think it reverted back to the two varieties that were crossed to get the ruby red. I've got about 2 gallons of seed left, so I will be planting more this year. I think the reason why people think hybrids are sterile is that they pollinate much better in groups, and volunteer corn is usually scattered around so there isn't much chance of good polination.
