Each 'Strawberry' corn stalk produces 2 or more 2"-3"-long ruby-red, strawberry-shaped ears on compact Strawberry 4' stalks. Beautiful foliage when used at the back of your flower border. At summer's end, harvest the kernels for popcorn. Kids will love to watch the ruby-red kernels magically turn white when popped! You may want to save a few of these charming ears, as well as the dried stalks, for fall décor. The stalks are a nice backdrop to displays of pumpkins, gourds, and dried cobs. This packet sows up to 12 feet.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F; ideally 65°-90°F.

When to start inside: Not recommended; roots sensitive to transplanting. Best results occur when seedlings are transplanted less than 2 weeks old.

Special germination instructions: Pollination occurs by wind; for best kernel formation, sow in parallel rows or blocks.
