Taller, a bit later, higher yielding with larger kernels and ears, and greater ease of popping than the old Robust 21-82W, this midseason white hulless popcorn has great eating quality—crisp and tender, light and flaky. The 6' plants have the stalk strength to survive September storms intact.

Seed counts vary widely among varieties. Market grower Jason Kafka says that popcorn is a wonderful novelty for CSA shares. Americans consume more than 16 billion quarts of it per year. Why not try growing some?
Culture: Untreated sweet corn seed will not germinate in cold wet soil. Please be patient and wait till soil warms to at least 60° before sowing, or start seedlings indoors and transplant at 3–6" before taproots take off. Minimum soil temperature 55°, optimal temperature range 65–85°. Tender, will not survive frost. Heavy nitrogen requirements.
