Popcorn 'Strawberry Red'

  • Origin: Central America
  • Latin: Zea mays

Beautiful dark red cobs in the shape of a strawberry, but twice as large! You use this variety for beautiful red popcorn, but it can also serve as a decoration on the autumn table for a while. Plants about 150 cm tall produce 2-4 cobs. Fun idea: let them "pop" on the cob and nibble them off the stalk...! Let the corn dry thoroughly for a desired full "pop". Harvestable after about 100 days when the kernels harden and then dry further. The seeds pop open after heating, providing a healthy snack!
