100 to 110 days — Miniature Blue' popcorn ears have thin cobs, are small, averaging two to four inches in length with shiny kernels that are a beautiful, deep- to medium-blue color. They are not as purple as other blue type corn varieties. The stalks average six to seven feet in height and produce from two to four ears each.

The small dry ears, with their "colonial blue" color, are attractive and popular for using in "country decorating," in dried arrangements, fall decorations, bird feeders, wreaths, and crafts. Although it is quite ornamental, it is popcorn and can be popped for eating! Each packet contains 0.5 ounces, which is approximately 160 to 170 seeds.

Planting Instructions: Soil must be at least 65ºF to germinate. Be patient and do not plant too early or you will waste a lot of seed! Plant in full sun and keep it watered. Corn is a wind-pollinated plant. Plant in blocks several rows wide to ensure full ears.

Sow seeds about 1½ to 2½ inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. Thin to 6 to 12 inches apart.
