Bloody Butcher is a decorative maize. Blue Jade is another. I reply
merely to confuse.

Presumably because no one sells the plants they do not appear in the
plant finder :~)

Googling world-wide on
"Butchers blue" -apron -candy
gives several hundred hits not one of which refers to a plant, so I'm
inclined to the view it doesn't exist as a variety name.
(-apron gets rid of most of the butchers apron type sites. Don't ask
about the -candy)
