Growing and Care Instructions:
-
- Start with well-drained soil, enriched with manure compost, and choose a sunny location for the best growth.
- Sow in 3 pots 1in deep for the earliest crop, warmth will aid germination rates.
- Harden off before planting out, or sow directly outside, allowing 12-18in between plants and 18in between rows.
- Essential to plant in blocks, not as a single row, to ensure good pollination and kernel formation.
- During hot weather, ensure the crop does not dry out, especially during flowering.
- Ensure the growing location has good drainage and enough humus to ensure the ground will not dry too quickly.
- Provide additional support and nutrients by growing companion plants like beans next to the corn.

Out of 12 seeds, only 7 sprouted, which was disappointing. Among them, only 3 produced ears, and just 2 seemed viable to save. The other corn I purchased thrived without any issues. Perhaps the climate in Himachal isn’t hot enough for the strawberry popcorn variety?
Deepak Padiyar –
The popcorn grew quite nicely. They were small in size but had a couple of ears on each stalk. Planted them a bit late, so some cobs were underdeveloped, but the ones I got had excellent color and looked fantastic.
Kamini Sharma –
I tried growing this and glass gem corn for the first time. The strawberry corn did great, giving about 2 cobs per stalk. They all had uniform size and color, with kernels evenly distributed.
Dinesh Nagre –
Good germination rate. Multiple cobs per plant. The plants stood around 3 feet tall, and the cobs measured about 2-4 inches long. Lovely and easy plant for small spaces.
Harshada Mankar –
Easy and quick to grow, this corn doesn’t cross-pollinate with other varieties effectively.
Radhika Jadhav –
This is the first time I have ever grown a popcorn variety. It grew effortlessly and boasts a clean, delightful taste. My husband is a big fan!
