Corn – Calico Popcorn

Tiny kernels dot these 15cm (6), multicoloured cobs in yellow, brown, white, purple, red, and blue. Use for edible popping corn, or simply as ornaments to mark the harvest season in early fall.

Give the tall, slow growing plants as early a start as possible for the greatest number of ripe cobs. Expect mixed colours on every stalk. This is not a sweet corn variety and is not intended for eating as corn on the cob. But the kernels really do pop once they have fully dried.
