(Hordeum vulgare) Hulless 6-row. I would probably call the kernels brown, but I suppose a more imaginative person might call them blue. Awned. 250 seeds/packet.
(Hordeum vulgare) Hulless 2-row. Long, thin awned heads mature to a pale tan colour, in stark contrast to the other variety we grow. 105 days to maturity. 150 seeds/packet.
(Hordeum vulgare) Short plants produce loads of strange but beautiful awned, wide black heads with black seeds. The first time I grew it I was alarmed when my pretty green barley plants’ seedheads started looking black; but I soon found that there was no need to worry. That’s just what happens when it is maturing. 105 days to maturity. 140 seeds/packet.
