Yellow Popping Corn Seed for Growing, Heirloom Non-GMO Garden Seeds by Country Creek Acres

Grow your own popping corn with this value-priced heirloom strain that can be harvested in about 95-110 days. This strain is just as easy to grow as sweet corn, but requires you to leave the popcorn on the stock until the corn is fully mature and the husks turn brown. After harvesting, allow the ears to dry further. When the kernels easily rub off the cob, they are ready to be stored or popped. You can also grow this variety for popcorn shoots.

To start, sow the seeds directly outdoors 1 1/2 inches deep, with eight inches between seeds and thirty inches between rows. When choosing a site in your garden, consider the sun exposure, as tall stalks have the potential to block sunlight from other plants. Water the crops regularly, providing one to one and a half inches of water while they are growing.

Once the corn is fully mature and the husks have turned brown, you can harvest the ears and let them continue to mature. The mature kernels can then be stored or popped. This prolific 5-foot-tall variety bears ears that are 6 to 9 inches long, with 2-3 ears per plant. The popcorn can be grown throughout the summer and stored all winter long.

These Non-GMO seeds are hand-packed by Country Creek Acres in the United States of America. Enjoy the process of growing your own popcorn and savor the delicious results in just a few months!
