Stock is limited so order now while you can.START SEEDS OUTDOORSIn spring, once the weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay securely above 55° plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Plant seeds in 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Plant in a block of 4 side-by-side rows, each row at least 1 foot apart. Thin seedlings to 1 foot apart when several inches tall. Protect from marauding birds if necessary. If first sowing doesn’t germinate evenly, replant right away as new seedlings catch up quickly. Make several sowings 2 or 3 weeks apart until early June to have successive harvests.GROWING NOTESPlant seeds in blocks of at least 4 parallel rows to ensure good wind pollination and well filled out ears. Corn is a heavy feeder, so add plenty of compost or aged manure to the soil at sowing time, and then fertilize when young plants are 7 to 8 inches tall and again as ears begin to form. This highly decorative and surprisingly early-ripening hardy corn produces ears packed with dense kernels. HARVEST AND USESmall colorful ears of corn are ready when the silks are very dark brown but not dried out. Test by choosing a plump ear and peeling back the husk very slightly. The kernels should be tender and milky when slit with a fingernail. This corn is best used dry to make Popcorn or for Fall decoration.Plant In April - JuneFull sun Planting Depth 1 inchSpace Seeds 4 - 6 inches - Thin to 12"Days to Germinate 7 - 10 daysDays to Harvest Approx. 90Germination 85%
