Miniature Colored
Popcorn
105 days — Stalks grow to about six feet in height and produces two to three ears each. The ears are small, narrow and average three to five inches in length. The kernels are shiny, often pearly in appearance, bright, and varying in color. Colors can include red, yellow, black, gray, brown, purple, pink, blue, white and orange. A small percentage of ears will be solid colored but most are combinations of many colors
and even "calicos." Some ears also have
red, purple, or brown husks and cobs. Very ornamental yet very tasty.
Although there are quite a few different miniature popcorn varieties on the market at this time, many can trace their parentage, at least in part, to this variety introduced by Bisek Gardens of Minnesota in 1985. 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.
