Popcorn corn is a unique variety of corn specially cultivated for making homemade popcorn. Unlike regular sweet corn, its kernels have a hard outer hull and dense moisture inside, which bursts into light, crispy popcorn when heated. Our popcorn corn seeds are non-GMO, carefully selected from mature parent plants to ensure high popping rate and strong germination performance.
Plant in full sun location with loose, fertile and well-draining soil after all frost risk ends. Sow seeds 2-3 cm deep, keep proper spacing between each plant to allow enough room for stalk growth. Water regularly while avoiding standing water. It takes roughly 90 to 110 days from sowing to harvest. When husks turn dry and kernels harden fully, pick the corn ears and dry them thoroughly. After proper drying, you can heat the kernels to make fresh popcorn. This crop pairs well with sweet corn seeds and field corn seeds to diversify your vegetable and grain garden.
