Dry the cobs with the pink kernels intact and then knock them loose for storage and popping. Enjoy fluffy white popcorn with a distinctive nutty flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful pink-mauve cobs are also attractive for decoration. This is not a variety for eating corn on the cob, but rather for drying and popping. This variety is one of the earliest of all popping types.

Plant 2-5cm (1-2″) deep (shallower for sh2 seed or in cool soil). Sow seeds around 7.5cm (3″) apart, in rows 60-90cm (24-36″) apart. Because corn is wind pollinated, plant in a dense block of at least 4 rows, rather than in single rows. This increases the chance of corn pollen, which emerges from male flowers at the growing tip, to fall down onto the receptive female silks that extend from each corn cob.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 182.53px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 182.53px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 182.53px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-avenir font-weight-bold text-black font-size-1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal pH: 5.8-6.8. Corn is a heavy feeder, so add manure or compost, and use 500g (1 lb) of complete organic fertilizer per 6m (60′) of row, mixing it thoroughly into the soil beneath each seed furrow. Thin to at least 20-25cm (8-10″) apart in the row. Large eared and double-eared varieties need to be 30cm (24″) apart.
