Wetsel Seed™ Red Strawberry Popcorn Seed
50lb
Named because the 3 inch long ears of corn look like strawberries, this corn is used for ornamental purposes, but also for its delicious popped corn!
Select sunny location and plant after last frost and weather has warmed. Soil should be fertilized with vegetable food and cultivated. To insure good pollination sow seed in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side rather than one long row. Cultivate or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize when plants are 12-18 in./30-46 cm. Pick when stalks and ears are completely dry. Allow ears to cure for 3-4 weeks in a dry place before shelling. Ears are ready to shell when kernels come off completely with a moderately aggressive twisting motion with both hands. Store in sealed jars for several weeks before popping.
Seed Variety: Popcorn, Red Strawberry
Botanical Name: Zea mays
Light Requirements: Full Sun
Planting Depth: 1-1/2 in.
Seed Spacing: 4-6 in.
Spacing Between Rows: 30-36 in.
