Once only commercially available, this type of popping corn is now available to the home gardener! 'Robust Pop R400MR' produces large, round, popped kernels sturdy enough to hold a coating and stay in one piece, unlike the more common "butterfly"-shaped popcorn. This is also the type of popcorn found in the popular Cracker Jacks®. Grow it in your backyard to make kettle corn, caramel corn, popcorn balls, or to top with seasonings. Tolerant to Goss's wilt disease. 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.
