Where to start?! What a wild variety this is! Ha! You will be shocked by what you grow if you've never grown a popcorn like this before. I know I was! It's almost like you're growing ten different varieties at once, which I guess you are? The plants, while all vigorous and easy-growing, ranged from short, stocky green-stalked plants to eight-foot tall dark purple stalks, and the corn that grows on the stalks ranges from 3 inch ears of tiny multi-colored kernels to 7 or 8 inch ears of quite-large deep red kernels, and everything in between, including variegated kernels, if you can believe it!
I was skeptical of the popping quality, until I popped some! This has definitely taken a place in my top three popcorns to grow, along with Dakota Black and Miniature Pink. I like small, crisp, corny-flavored white butterfly popcorn. While the different-sized and -colored kernels in this variety definitely pop up in different sizes, they are crisp, flavorful and delicious. Once in a while, you get a bite that really packs a lot of popcorn flavor. A real nice surprise.
I can't say enough good about this beautiful corn. I normally couldn't care less what the corn looks like. I grow it to pop it and eat it, but this stuff is really pretty. It was also very easy to grow. Give it a try! I'm really excited to grow this again next summer. A six-by-six block of plants produced 6 pounds of popcorn kernels, and that's with almost no soil augmentation in a neglected corner of my community garden patch.

The family thoroughly enjoyed this crop! Grew wonderfully, fun to harvest and store. The best tasting popcorn Ive had; It is light and very flavorful!

Grew this the past couple of years, first year from Victory Seeds, second year was seed saved from the first year. Pops well, although the kernels may be a bit small for an air popper, as ours will blow some seeds out, but worked great in the microwave popper. Most plants will produce two to five ears, even in less than ideal conditions. Plenty of color variations, for those looking to use it as an ornamental.
